| 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. | |
