Code Data Analysis Scaffolds FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Accepted Answer

It provides a TDD scaffold that helps you design test cases covering happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions before you write the actual implementation code.

Question 2

Can I use this skill for Machine Learning projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes specific scaffolds for predictive modeling that cover everything from data preparation and feature engineering to model selection and cross-validation.

Question 3

Does it distinguish between causal and predictive modeling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill includes guardrails to help you clarify whether your goal is causal inference (understanding treatment effects) or predictive modeling (forecasting outcomes), as these require different methodologies.

Question 4

What is a Code Data Analysis Scaffold?

Accepted Answer

A Code Data Analysis Scaffold is a structured framework or template that guides you through technical tasks—like software testing or data analysis—by defining the necessary steps, validation points, and best practices before execution.

Question 5

When should I use the EDA scaffold?

Accepted Answer

You should use the EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) scaffold when working with a new dataset to ensure systematic checking of data quality, missing values, distributions, and correlations.
