auto-hypothesis-test

name	auto-hypothesis-test
description	Automatically selects and runs the right statistical test for your data — t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, Mann-Whitney, or others — and provides plain-language interpretations of the results. Triggered when you ask about group comparisons, significance, p-values, hypothesis testing, or mention specific tests like t-test, ANOVA, or chi-square.

auto-hypothesis-test

Automated statistical testing tool — automatically selects the appropriate hypothesis test based on your data characteristics (t-test / chi-square / ANOVA / Mann-Whitney, etc.) and outputs results with plain-language interpretations.

Capabilities

Feature	Description
Independent samples t-test	2 groups + normal data, compare means
Welch's t-test	2 groups + normal but unequal variances
Mann-Whitney U	2 groups + non-normal data (nonparametric)
One-way ANOVA	3+ groups + normal data
Kruskal-Wallis	3+ groups + non-normal data (nonparametric)
Chi-square independence test	Association between two categorical variables
Paired t-test	Before/after comparison (normal)
Wilcoxon signed-rank	Before/after comparison (nonparametric)
Auto-selection	Automatically chooses based on group count, normality, and data type
Plain-language interpretation	Every metric and conclusion explained in everyday language

Quick Start

# Group comparison (auto-selects the test)
python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py data.csv --group treatment --value score

# Chi-square test (two categorical variables)
python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py survey.csv --group gender --value preference

# Paired test (before/after comparison)
python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py experiment.csv --col1 pre_score --col2 post_score --paired

# Force a specific test
python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py data.csv --group group --value score --test mann-whitney

# Save results to JSON
python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py data.csv -g treatment -v score -o result.json

Detailed Usage

Mode 1: Group Comparison

Use --group to specify the grouping column and --value to specify the comparison column. The tool automatically determines which test to use.

python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py <data-file> --group <group-col> --value <value-col> [options]

Auto-selection logic:

1. Both columns are categorical → Chi-square test
2. 2 groups + data is normal → Independent samples t-test (Welch's t if variances are unequal)
3. 2 groups + data is non-normal → Mann-Whitney U test
4. 3+ groups + data is normal → One-way ANOVA
5. 3+ groups + data is non-normal → Kruskal-Wallis test

Mode 2: Paired Comparison

Use --col1 and --col2 to specify the two measurement columns.

python3 scripts/statistical_test_suite.py <data-file> --col1 <before> --col2 <after> --paired [options]

Auto-selection logic:

1. Differences are normal → Paired t-test
2. Differences are non-normal → Wilcoxon signed-rank test
