"Write R code to create a ggplot2 visualization of this data: [paste data]. Include: scatter plot, trend line, confidence intervals."Statistical Analysis Help
"Explain which statistical test I should use for comparing three groups. Data: normal distribution, unequal variances, sample sizes: 30, 45, 22."Automated Reporting
"Generate an R Markdown report based on this analysis. Include: methodology, results, visualizations, and conclusions."Data Cleaning Assistance
"Suggest R code to clean this dataset: handle missing values, remove duplicates, standardize formats."Best Practices
- Always verify statistical code before running on production data
- Use OpenClaw for explanations, not as a replacement for understanding
- Document your analysis workflow for reproducibility
- Validate AI-generated code before using in publications
