Assumption Checking

假设验证

Systematic Assumption Verification

系统化假设验证

ALWAYS check assumptions before interpreting test results.
Use the provided 
scripts/assumption_checks.py
module for automated checking:
python
from scripts.assumption_checks import comprehensive_assumption_check
在解释检验结果前务必验证假设。
使用提供的
scripts/assumption_checks.py
模块进行自动化验证：
python
from scripts.assumption_checks import comprehensive_assumption_check

Comprehensive check with visualizations

带可视化的全面检查

results = comprehensive_assumption_check( data=df, value_col='score', group_col='group', # Optional: for group comparisons alpha=0.05 )

This performs:
1. **Outlier detection** (IQR and z-score methods)
2. **Normality testing** (Shapiro-Wilk test + Q-Q plots)
3. **Homogeneity of variance** (Levene's test + box plots)
4. **Interpretation and recommendations**
results = comprehensive_assumption_check( data=df, value_col='score', group_col='group', # 可选：用于组间比较 alpha=0.05 )

此模块执行以下操作：
1. **异常值检测**（IQR和z分数方法）
2. **正态性检验**（Shapiro-Wilk检验 + Q-Q图）
3. **方差齐性检验**（Levene检验 + 箱线图）
4. **结果解释与建议**

Individual Assumption Checks

单独假设验证

For targeted checks, use individual functions:
python
from scripts.assumption_checks import (
    check_normality,
    check_normality_per_group,
    check_homogeneity_of_variance,
    check_linearity,
    detect_outliers
)
如需针对性检查，可使用独立函数：
python
from scripts.assumption_checks import (
    check_normality,
    check_normality_per_group,
    check_homogeneity_of_variance,
    check_linearity,
    detect_outliers
)

Example: Check normality with visualization

示例：带可视化的正态性检验

result = check_normality( data=df['score'], name='Test Score', alpha=0.05, plot=True ) print(result['interpretation']) print(result['recommendation'])
undefined
result = check_normality( data=df['score'], name='Test Score', alpha=0.05, plot=True ) print(result['interpretation']) print(result['recommendation'])
undefined

What to Do When Assumptions Are Violated

假设不满足时的处理方法

Normality violated:
  • Mild violation + n > 30 per group → Proceed with parametric test (robust)
  • Moderate violation → Use non-parametric alternative
  • Severe violation → Transform data or use non-parametric test
Homogeneity of variance violated:
  • For t-test → Use Welch's t-test
  • For ANOVA → Use Welch's ANOVA or Brown-Forsythe ANOVA
  • For regression → Use robust standard errors or weighted least squares
Linearity violated (regression):
  • Add polynomial terms
  • Transform variables
  • Use non-linear models or GAM
See 
references/assumptions_and_diagnostics.md
for comprehensive guidance.
正态性不满足：
  • 轻度违反 + 每组样本量n > 30 → 继续使用参数检验（稳健性较好）
  • 中度违反 → 使用非参数替代方法
  • 严重违反 → 转换数据或使用非参数检验
方差齐性不满足：
  • t检验 → 使用Welch's t检验
  • ANOVA → 使用Welch's ANOVA或Brown-Forsythe ANOVA
  • 回归分析 → 使用稳健标准误或加权最小二乘法
线性不满足（回归分析）：
  • 添加多项式项
  • 转换变量
  • 使用非线性模型或GAM

Effect Sizes

效应量

Always Calculate Effect Sizes

务必计算效应量

Effect sizes quantify magnitude, while p-values only indicate existence of an effect.
See 
references/effect_sizes_and_power.md
for comprehensive guidance.
效应量量化效应的大小，而p值仅表明效应是否存在。
如需全面指导，请查看
references/effect_sizes_and_power.md

Calculating Effect Sizes

计算效应量

Most effect sizes are automatically calculated by pingouin:
python
undefined
大多数效应量可由pingouin自动计算：
python
undefined

T-test returns Cohen's d

t检验返回Cohen's d

result = pg.ttest(x, y) d = result['cohen-d'].values[0]
result = pg.ttest(x, y) d = result['cohen-d'].values[0]

ANOVA returns partial eta-squared

ANOVA返回偏eta平方

aov = pg.anova(dv='score', between='group', data=df) eta_p2 = aov['np2'].values[0]
aov = pg.anova(dv='score', between='group', data=df) eta_p2 = aov['np2'].values[0]

Correlation: r is already an effect size

相关性：r本身就是效应量

corr = pg.corr(x, y) r = corr['r'].values[0]
undefined
corr = pg.corr(x, y) r = corr['r'].values[0]
undefined

Confidence Intervals for Effect Sizes

效应量的置信区间

Always report CIs to show precision:
python
from pingouin import compute_effsize_from_t
务必报告置信区间以体现估计精度：
python
from pingouin import compute_effsize_from_t

For t-test

针对t检验

d, ci = compute_effsize_from_t( t_statistic, nx=len(group1), ny=len(group2), eftype='cohen' ) print(f"d = {d:.2f}, 95% CI [{ci[0]:.2f}, {ci[1]:.2f}]")

Power Analysis

功效分析

A Priori Power Analysis (Study Planning)

先验功效分析（研究规划阶段）

Determine required sample size before data collection:
python
from statsmodels.stats.power import (
    tt_ind_solve_power,
    FTestAnovaPower
)
在数据收集前确定所需样本量：
python
from statsmodels.stats.power import (
    tt_ind_solve_power,
    FTestAnovaPower
)

T-test: What n is needed to detect d = 0.5?

t检验：检测d=0.5的效应需要多少样本量？

n_required = tt_ind_solve_power( effect_size=0.5, alpha=0.05, power=0.80, ratio=1.0, alternative='two-sided' ) print(f"Required n per group: {n_required:.0f}")
n_required = tt_ind_solve_power( effect_size=0.5, alpha=0.05, power=0.80, ratio=1.0, alternative='two-sided' ) print(f"每组所需样本量：{n_required:.0f}")

ANOVA: What n is needed to detect f = 0.25?

ANOVA：检测f=0.25的效应需要多少样本量？

anova_power = FTestAnovaPower() n_per_group = anova_power.solve_power( effect_size=0.25, ngroups=3, alpha=0.05, power=0.80 ) print(f"Required n per group: {n_per_group:.0f}")
undefined
anova_power = FTestAnovaPower() n_per_group = anova_power.solve_power( effect_size=0.25, ngroups=3, alpha=0.05, power=0.80 ) print(f"每组所需样本量：{n_per_group:.0f}")
undefined

Sensitivity Analysis (Post-Study)

敏感性分析（研究完成后）

Determine what effect size you could detect:
python
undefined
确定研究能检测到的最小效应量：
python
undefined

With n=50 per group, what effect could we detect?

当每组样本量为50时，能检测到多大的效应？

detectable_d = tt_ind_solve_power( effect_size=None, # Solve for this nobs1=50, alpha=0.05, power=0.80, ratio=1.0, alternative='two-sided' ) print(f"Study could detect d ≥ {detectable_d:.2f}")

**Note**: Post-hoc power analysis (calculating power after study) is generally not recommended. Use sensitivity analysis instead.

See `references/effect_sizes_and_power.md` for detailed guidance.

---
detectable_d = tt_ind_solve_power( effect_size=None, # 求解此值 nobs1=50, alpha=0.05, power=0.80, ratio=1.0, alternative='two-sided' ) print(f"本研究可检测d ≥ {detectable_d:.2f}的效应")

**注意**：一般不推荐进行事后功效分析（研究完成后计算功效），建议使用敏感性分析替代。

如需详细指导，请查看`references/effect_sizes_and_power.md`。

SD = 8.1, p = .002, d = 0.87) and Condition C (M = 70.1, SD = 7.9,
p < .001, d = 1.07). Conditions B and C did not differ significantly
(p = .52, d = 0.18).
单因素ANOVA结果显示，处理条件对测验得分有显著主效应，
F(2, 147) = 8.45，p < .001，η²_p = .10。使用Tukey's HSD进行事后比较
发现，条件A（M = 78.2，SD = 7.3）的得分显著高于条件B（M = 71.5，
SD = 8.1，p = .002，d = 0.87）和条件C（M = 70.1，SD = 7.9，
p < .001，d = 1.07）。条件B与C的得分无显著差异
（p = .52，d = 0.18）。

Multiple Regression

多元回归

Multiple linear regression was conducted to predict exam scores from
study hours, prior GPA, and attendance. The overall model was significant,
F(3, 146) = 45.2, p < .001, R² = .48, adjusted R² = .47. Study hours
(B = 1.80, SE = 0.31, β = .35, t = 5.78, p < .001, 95% CI [1.18, 2.42])
and prior GPA (B = 8.52, SE = 1.95, β = .28, t = 4.37, p < .001,
95% CI [4.66, 12.38]) were significant predictors, while attendance was
not (B = 0.15, SE = 0.12, β = .08, t = 1.25, p = .21, 95% CI [-0.09, 0.39]).
Multicollinearity was not a concern (all VIF < 1.5).
采用多元线性回归分析，以学习时长、前期GPA和出勤率预测考试得分。
整体模型显著，F(3, 146) = 45.2，p < .001，R² = .48，调整后R² = .47。
学习时长（B = 1.80，SE = 0.31，β = .35，t = 5.78，p < .001，95% CI [1.18, 2.42]）
和前期GPA（B = 8.52，SE = 1.95，β = .28，t = 4.37，p < .001，
95% CI [4.66, 12.38]）是显著预测变量，而出勤率不是
（B = 0.15，SE = 0.12，β = .08，t = 1.25，p = .21，95% CI [-0.09, 0.39]）。
不存在多重共线性问题（所有VIF < 1.5）。

Bayesian Analysis

贝叶斯分析

A Bayesian independent samples t-test was conducted using weakly
informative priors (Normal(0, 1) for mean difference). The posterior
distribution indicated that Group A scored higher than Group B
(M_diff = 6.8, 95% credible interval [3.2, 10.4]). The Bayes Factor
BF₁₀ = 45.3 provided very strong evidence for a difference between
groups, with a 99.8% posterior probability that Group A's mean exceeded
Group B's mean. Convergence diagnostics were satisfactory (all R̂ < 1.01,
ESS > 1000).
使用弱信息先验（均值差异服从Normal(0, 1)分布）进行贝叶斯独立样本t检验。
后验分布显示组A得分高于组B
（均值差异M_diff = 6.8，95%可信区间[3.2, 10.4]）。贝叶斯因子
BF₁₀ = 45.3为组间差异提供了极强的证据，组A均值高于组B的后验概率为99.8%。
收敛诊断结果良好（所有R̂ < 1.01，ESS > 1000）。

Bayesian Statistics

When to Use Bayesian Methods

何时使用贝叶斯方法

Consider Bayesian approaches when:
  • You have prior information to incorporate
  • You want direct probability statements about hypotheses
  • Sample size is small or planning sequential data collection
  • You need to quantify evidence for the null hypothesis
  • The model is complex (hierarchical, missing data)
See 
references/bayesian_statistics.md
for comprehensive guidance on:
  • Bayes' theorem and interpretation
  • Prior specification (informative, weakly informative, non-informative)
  • Bayesian hypothesis testing with Bayes Factors
  • Credible intervals vs. confidence intervals
  • Bayesian t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and hierarchical models
  • Model convergence checking and posterior predictive checks
在以下场景中考虑使用贝叶斯方法：
  • 你有可纳入分析的先验信息
  • 你希望得到关于假设的直接概率陈述
  • 样本量较小或计划进行序贯数据收集
  • 你需要量化对原假设的支持程度
  • 模型复杂（分层模型、缺失数据）
如需全面指导，请查看
references/bayesian_statistics.md
，内容包括：
  • 贝叶斯定理与解释
  • 先验分布设定（信息性、弱信息性、无信息性）
  • 带贝叶斯因子的贝叶斯假设检验
  • 可信区间与置信区间的对比
  • 贝叶斯t检验、ANOVA、回归与分层模型
  • 模型收敛检查与后验预测检查

Key Advantages

核心优势

  1. Intuitive interpretation: "Given the data, there is a 95% probability the parameter is in this interval"
  2. Evidence for null: Can quantify support for no effect
  3. Flexible: No p-hacking concerns; can analyze data as it arrives
  4. Uncertainty quantification: Full posterior distribution
  1. 直观的解释：“基于现有数据，参数落在该区间的概率为95%”
  2. 支持原假设：可量化对无效应的支持程度
  3. 灵活性：无需担心p值操纵问题；可随数据收集进度进行分析
  4. 不确定性量化：提供完整的后验分布

Best Practices

最佳实践

  1. Pre-register analyses when possible to distinguish confirmatory from exploratory
  2. Always check assumptions before interpreting results
  3. Report effect sizes with confidence intervals
  4. Report all planned analyses including non-significant results
  5. Distinguish statistical from practical significance
  6. Visualize data before and after analysis
  7. Check diagnostics for regression/ANOVA (residual plots, VIF, etc.)
  8. Conduct sensitivity analyses to assess robustness
  9. Share data and code for reproducibility
  10. Be transparent about violations, transformations, and decisions
  1. 尽可能预先注册分析，区分验证性分析与探索性分析
  2. 在解释结果前务必验证假设
  3. 报告效应量并附带置信区间
  4. 报告所有预先规划的分析，包括无显著性的结果
  5. 区分统计显著性与实际显著性
  6. 在分析前后可视化数据
  7. 检查回归/ANOVA的诊断结果（残差图、VIF等）
  8. 进行敏感性分析以评估结果的稳健性
  9. 共享数据与代码以保证可复现性
  10. 透明化所有假设违反情况、数据转换与决策过程

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

需避免的常见陷阱

  1. P-hacking: Don't test multiple ways until something is significant
  2. HARKing: Don't present exploratory findings as confirmatory
  3. Ignoring assumptions: Check them and report violations
  4. Confusing significance with importance: p < .05 ≠ meaningful effect
  5. Not reporting effect sizes: Essential for interpretation
  6. Cherry-picking results: Report all planned analyses
  7. Misinterpreting p-values: They're NOT probability that hypothesis is true
  8. Multiple comparisons: Correct for family-wise error when appropriate
  9. Ignoring missing data: Understand mechanism (MCAR, MAR, MNAR)
  10. Overinterpreting non-significant results: Absence of evidence ≠ evidence of absence
  1. p值操纵：不要尝试多种方法直到得到显著性结果
  2. 事后假设：不要将探索性结果伪装成验证性结果
  3. 忽略假设：务必检查假设并报告违反情况
  4. 混淆显著性与重要性：p < .05不代表效应有实际意义
  5. 不报告效应量：效应量是结果解释的关键
  6. 选择性报告结果：报告所有预先规划的分析
  7. 错误解释p值：p值不是假设为真的概率
  8. 多重比较：必要时校正家族式误差
  9. 忽略缺失数据：理解缺失机制（MCAR、MAR、MNAR）
  10. 过度解释无显著性结果：没有证据不代表不存在效应
