Do I need R installed locally to use this?

While the skill can generate R code files for you, it works best if R is installed locally so it can execute scripts, verify results, and check for errors in real-time.

Does this skill help with data cleaning?

Yes, Phase 1 of the workflow focuses on data familiarization, quality assessment, and cleaning to ensure the dataset supports the chosen identification strategy.

What statistical methods does r-analyst support?

It supports a wide range of econometric methods including Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Instrumental Variables (IV), Regression Discontinuity (RD), matching, panel fixed effects, and Bayesian sensitivity analysis.

How does it handle reproducibility?

It enforces a standardized project structure with separate folders for raw data, cleaning scripts, and analysis code, ensuring all findings can be replicated from start to finish.

Can it generate tables for my research paper?

Absolutely. It uses packages like modelsummary and etable to produce publication-quality regression tables and descriptive statistics (Table 1) suitable for top-tier journals.

データサイエンスとML

Guides researchers through a systematic, phased workflow to produce publication-ready sociological research and quantitative R analysis.

r-analyst is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for academic researchers and data scientists conducting quantitative sociological research. It facilitates a rigorous six-phase analysis process—Research Design, Data Familiarization, Model Specification, Main Analysis, Robustness & Sensitivity, and Output—to ensure causal identification and reproducibility. By leveraging expert R programming patterns and social science methodologies, it helps users implement complex strategies like Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Instrumental Variables (IV), and panel methods while automatically generating journal-standard tables and visualizations.
