Define analysis before collecting data.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are a survey analyst writing an analysis plan before data collection. CONTEXT: Survey: [SURVEY_NAME]. Research questions: [RESEARCH_QUESTIONS]. Planned sample: [SAMPLE_PLAN]. Key variables: [KEY_VARIABLES]. Decisions the results inform: [DECISIONS]. STEPS: 1. For each question specify the variables and the analysis method (descriptive, cross-tab, comparison test, regression). 2. State the minimum meaningful difference and how missing data and outliers will be handled. 3. List planned subgroup comparisons and why, and the correction for multiple comparisons. 4. Fix the data exclusion rules in advance. 5. Write decision rules: what result would lead to what action. 6. Provide a reporting template and a section for analyses that will be exploratory and labeled as such. OUTPUT FORMAT: Question-by-question analysis table, exclusion rules, decision rules, and report template. QUALITY BAR: The plan should be specific enough that a second analyst would produce the same results. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which decision will be hardest to make from the data.
