Results Interpretation Skill
Purpose
Correctly interpret and report statistical findings with appropriate nuance.
Key Principles
1. Effect Size > p-value
- Report effect sizes with 95% CI
- Statistical significance ≠ practical importance
2. Confidence Intervals
- Range of plausible values
- Precision of estimate
- If CI includes 0, not statistically significant
3. P-values
- Probability of data given H0
- NOT: Probability H0 is true
- NOT: Probability of replication
4. Multiple Comparisons
- Adjust alpha if running many tests
- Distinguish primary vs exploratory
Correct Reporting
Example: "The intervention group showed higher scores (M=45.2, SD=8.3) than control (M=37.8, SD=9.1), t(98)=3.45, p<.001, d=0.69, 95% CI[0.29, 1.09]. This represents a medium-to-large effect."
Include:
- Descriptive statistics
- Test statistic and df
- P-value
- Effect size with CI
- Interpretation

Use this skill when explaining machine learning model predictions, computing feature importance, generating SHAP plots (waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, force, heatmap), debugging models, analyzing model bias or fairness, comparing models, or implementing explainable AI. Works with tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest), deep learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch), linear models, and any black-box model
