# Statistical Problem Formulation

Pin down what you are asking before you go looking for answers

## What this does

You have a research idea but it is still loose, and everything downstream depends on stating it precisely. This helps you write it out formally: what you are estimating, what you are assuming, what you are hypothesizing, and how it will be evaluated. Reach for it at the very start of a piece of statistical research.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write a research problem in formal notation
- State the assumptions you are working under
- Set out hypotheses and how they will be judged

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Statistical Problem Formulation safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Statistical Problem Formulation and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 12d3fd809fa9, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/statistical-problem-formulation.

### How do I install Statistical Problem Formulation?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/statistical-problem-formulation on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw/tree/12d3fd809fa9658e91a0328c3280a0e462c78386/external/agents/stat_research_agent/skills/statistical-problem-formulation. Install from that link, not the branch.
