Module 12 Summary

What this module established

Seven sections, none optional. A reader deciding reads Question and Result; a reviewer reads Method and Limitations. The two most often dropped are Uncertainty and Limitations, and they are what makes it an analysis rather than an argument.

Carry forward

• Put the analysis in importable modules, not in the document. The report cites return values through inline expressions, and the same code can be unit-tested.
• The table, the test and the chart must describe the same comparison. The chart's job is to show the overlap the difference hides.
• There are four verdicts, not two. An interval that excludes zero but straddles your threshold is a real effect of uncertain importance.
• Record the interpreter and package versions. Defaults change between releases, and a result that cannot be tied to a version cannot be reproduced.

Before moving on

You are done when a colleague can clone the folder, run one command, and reproduce every number in your report.
