"""
Statistical analysis framework for the Felix Framework research validation.
This module provides rigorous statistical methods for hypothesis testing,
effect size calculation, and research validation following best practices
for scientific research and peer review.
Mathematical Foundation:
- H1: Coefficient of variation analysis with F-test comparisons
- H2: t-test and ANOVA for communication overhead comparison
- H3: Regression analysis for attention focusing validation
- Power analysis and sample size calculations
- Multiple comparison corrections (Bonferroni, FDR)
Key Features:
- Statistical significance testing with proper experimental design
- Effect size calculations for practical significance assessment
- Confidence intervals and power analysis
- Multiple comparison corrections for hypothesis testing
- Publication-quality statistical reporting
This enables rigorous hypothesis validation with statistical methods
appropriate for peer review and scientific publication.
