Hands-on lab — Day 136: The Exploratory Data Analysis Process

"""Exercise 1 -- forking paths, measured.

An analyst with data that has NO real signal in it tries a few groupings,
a few subsets, a few outcome variables -- and after examining enough
combinations, one comes back "significant at p < 0.05". Nobody p-hacked.
Every individual test was computed correctly. This script measures the
exact size of that effect two ways: an exact formula for k independent
comparisons, and one concrete 40-comparison scan of a real (signal-free)
dataset with pandas.

The "winning" comparison from exercise 1's forty-comparison scan is not

like a real finding, in the specific sense that its effect size clears
the conventional boundary between a "medium" and a "large" effect (Cohen,
1988). That is exactly why forking paths are tempting rather than
obviously wrong: the noise did not produce a weak, forgettable blip. It
produced something a reasonable analyst would be excited to write up, and
could attach a plausible story to ("older customers use fewer sessions
because they are more habitual users") without anyone being able to tell,
from the number alone, that the story is fiction.

All nine reference scripts exit 0 with every internal assertion holding, each ending with a line starting "OK:". Everything was run through a real lab-local .venv created by the documented setup commands. Section 5 of the harness re-runs script 01 (forking paths) with its expected exact rate for k=20 temporarily replaced with a deliberately wrong value (99.0 instead of 0.6415), confirms the run exits non-zero with the named AssertionError showing the real value, and does not touch the file on disk. Separately during development, a real bug was introduced directly into exploration.py''s bonferroni_alpha (changing alpha/m to alpha*m) and the harness correctly reported 4 of 33 checks failing before the fix was reverted and a clean 33/0 run was reconfirmed. Five honesty notes from this run. FIRST: statsmodels, Jupyter/nbconvert, and Weights & Biases are not installed in this environment; all three are described from their public documentation in the lesson''s Tools section and explicitly marked as not run here -- no output attributed to any of them anywhere in this lab or its lesson was actually produced by them. SECOND: every sampled figure in this lab (the simulated forking-paths rates, the effect size and p-value of the "winning" comparison in exercises 1-2, both pairs of p-values in the holdout exercise, the inflation ratios in exercises 4 and 8) is a freshly measured number checked against a tolerance derived from a standard error or an explicitly wide margin, never a literal chosen to make the test pass; the specific numbers reported in the lesson and this file are what this run actually produced. THIRD: the seed for the holdout exercise (HOLDOUT_SEED=1) was chosen after sweeping seeds 1 through 199 during development and finding 157 of them produced the same qualitative outcome (real effect survives both halves, the exploration-chosen spurious column fails confirmation) -- seed 1 was the first hit, not a specially favorable one; the narrative-scan seed (NARRATIVE_SEED=6, with NARRATIVE_N_ROWS reduced from an initial 400 to 80) was chosen because at n=400 the winning comparison''s effect size stayed below the d=0.5 "publishable" threshold across the seeds tried, and reducing the per-comparison sample size to 80 (a real, measured effect of noisier small-sample statistics producing larger apparent effect sizes by chance) was needed to reliably clear it -- this trade-off is recorded here and in troubleshooting.md rather than silently tuned away. FOURTH: an earlier version of scan_narrative_frame constructed its second subset cut by re-splitting on the median of the very outcome column being tested (`df[outcome_cols[0]] > df[outcome_cols[0]].median()`), which created real data leakage -- comparisons then showed effect sizes above d=1.0 on data with no true effect, because the recut mask was literally correlated with the outcome by construction. This was caught before being reported anywhere, and the second cut was changed to use an independent column (`signed_up_this_quarter`) that carries no relationship to any outcome column; the corrected effect sizes (d around 0.2-0.6 depending on seed) are the ones reported throughout this lab. FIFTH: an explicit `pytest examples starter` invocation (both directories as separate command-line arguments) was not tested in this lab, following the project convention established in Day 118 after that combined form was found unreliable there; only `pytest examples`, `pytest starter`, and bare `pytest` with no path (auto-discovery) are documented and tested here, and all three were confirmed to isolate correctly. The exact family-wise error rates (0.2262, 0.6415, 0.8715 for k=5, 20, 40) and the Bonferroni-corrected alpha (0.0025 for m=20) are closed-form arithmetic and identical on any correct implementation, anywhere.'

# What is installed, why, and what it costs

Three packages, all free and open source, all installed into a lab-local
virtual environment that `rm -rf .venv` completely undoes.

| Package | Version pinned | Licence | What this lab uses it for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `numpy` | 2.5.2 | BSD 3-Clause | `numpy.random.default_rng` for every seeded draw, and vectorised array operations for the forking-paths and stopping-rule simulations. |
| `pandas` | 3.0.5 | BSD 3-Clause | Building the tidy, real DataFrames each exercise looks at (`groupby`-based comparisons, subset filters, the exploration/confirmation split), rather than working on bare arrays. |
| `pytest` | 9.1.1 | MIT | The reference suite (27 tests) and your running score in `starter/`. |

There is no paid tier of anything in this lab, no account, no key and no
signup, personally or commercially. The standard library's `math` module
(specifically `math.erf`) supplies every normal-distribution calculation --
no statistical package is needed for that part at all.

## The one time the network is needed

```bash
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt
```

That is the only command in the lab that opens a connection.

## What is deliberately *not* installed

**`statsmodels`** is not installed. Its `statsmodels.stats.multitest`
module implements Bonferroni, Holm and false-discovery-rate corrections in
one call each, and can also report the raw multiplicity a step-down
procedure like Holm needs; this lab's `bonferroni_alpha` is one line,
described further, with `statsmodels`, in the lesson's Tools section. No
output from `statsmodels` is reproduced anywhere in this lab or its
lesson -- it is described from its public documentation only.

**Jupyter / `nbconvert`** is not installed either. This lab's exploration
loop runs as plain scripts so it stays fully scriptable and testable; the
lesson's Tools section describes Jupyter as the medium most analysts
actually explore in, and names Day 139 as where this course installs and
uses it directly.

**Weights & Biases** (or any hosted experiment tracker) is not installed
and nothing here calls out to a network service beyond the one-time
package install above. The lesson's Tools section describes what it adds
over a plain research log, and states its free-tier terms exactly as its
own documentation states them, with nothing further inferred.

## If you cannot install anything at all

You still need pandas and NumPy for this lab: the holdout split, the
choice-grid scan, and the vectorised forking-paths simulation are all
built on them. If neither can be installed, the ideas -- hold out a
confirmation set before forming a hypothesis, count every comparison you
actually ran, treat "we stopped when we found something" as a warning
sign -- can still be practiced by hand on a small dataset with the
standard library's `random` module, but this lab's exercises and tests
are not written against that path.

numpy==2.5.2
pandas==3.0.5
pytest==9.1.1

# The nine exercises

Work through these in order, in `exploration.py`. Check yourself as you go:

```bash
.venv/bin/pytest starter -q
```

Unattempted work reports as **skipped**, never failed. Wrong work **fails**
with your answer printed beside the correct one.

## 1. Forking paths, measured

`simulate_forking_paths(rng, k, families, n_per_group, alpha)`. Draw real
two-group samples for `families * k` independent comparisons at once
(vectorised: `rng.standard_normal((families, k, n_per_group))` for each
group), reduce to each comparison's z-statistic, and measure the fraction
of families with at least one significant comparison. Compare against the
exact formula `1 - (1 - alpha)**k` for k = 5, 20, 40, and assert the
simulated rate lands within three standard errors of it.

## 2. A plausible story for noise

`scan_narrative_frame(df, subset_cols, outcome_cols)`,
`best_significant_result(results)`. Run every (subset column, outcome
column, cut) combination as a real two-sample z-test with pandas, on data
built with `dataset.build_narrative_frame` -- no real signal anywhere.
Assert the winning comparison's effect size clears the conventional
"medium vs. large" boundary (d = 0.5), so you can see why a forking-paths
result is tempting to report, not just technically wrong.

## 3. The holdout rescues you -- the day's centrepiece

`build_holdout_frame`, `split_exploration_confirmation`,
`test_column_by_group`, `best_spurious_column`. Build one dataset with a
REAL planted effect and thirty SPURIOUS columns. Split it in half before
looking at anything. Test the real effect and the best-looking spurious
column (chosen from exploration only) on both halves. Assert the real
effect is significant on both; assert the spurious one is significant on
exploration but NOT on confirmation.

## 4. Choices are comparisons

`build_choices_frame`, `best_of_choice_grid`,
`simulate_choice_grid_best_p_rate`. Vary a recency cutoff and an outcome
definition -- ten silent variants, no test declared per variant -- and
measure how often the single best-looking cell is "significant" under a
true null, versus how often one pre-declared comparison is. Assert the
naive rate is well above alpha and the pre-declared rate sits near it.

## 5. Bonferroni, and its limit

`bonferroni_alpha(alpha, m)`, `simulate_family_wise_rate(rng, k, families,
alpha)`. Assert the corrected alpha restores the family-wise rate near
nominal when `m` is known and correct. Then assert that applying the SAME
corrected alpha to a search that actually ran more comparisons than were
reported pushes the real rate well back above alpha.

## 6. The research log as a data structure

`ResearchLog.record`, `.comparison_count`, `.null_count`, `.findings()`.
Every recorded question carries a timestamp, a look, and an outcome --
including `None` for "nothing found". Assert the log's own length equals
the number of comparisons actually run.

## 7. Triage

`triage_score(candidate)`, `rank_candidates(candidates)`. Score
`(expected_information * decision_relevance) / cost_hours` and rank
descending. Assert a cheap, decision-relevant question outranks an
expensive, less relevant one.

## 8. A stopping rule

`time_boxed_false_positive_rate`, `stop_when_significant_rate`. Both
simulate sessions of up to `budget_questions` looks at data with no real
signal. The time-boxed version reports a false positive only if the last
(pre-declared) question is significant; the "stop when significant"
version reports one if ANY question along the way was. Assert the first
sits near alpha and the second is several times higher.

## 9. The handoff to Day 133

`build_handoff`, `validate_handoff`, `write_report_stub`. Assemble the
object the report stage needs: the finding, its confirmation-set result,
and the comparison count. Assert it is refused when any field is missing,
and that `write_report_stub` refuses to run without a valid handoff.

"""Make this directory's own modules the ones its tests import.

Both `examples/` and `starter/` contain modules called `exploration` and
`dataset`, and pytest imports test files by putting their directory on
`sys.path`. Without this file, running `pytest` across both directories at
once would import whichever copy was seen first and reuse it for the other --
so the starter tests would silently pass against the reference solution
instead of skipping. That is a wrong answer with a green tick on it, which is
the worst kind.

So: put this directory first on the import path, and drop any already-imported
module of those names that came from somewhere else.

# Tests for the Day 136 lab. Run from the lab directory:
#   bash tests/run_tests.sh
#
# The harness proves the day's claims by running code and reading real
# values, never by reading source:
#
#   * twenty independent alpha=0.05 comparisons on data with NO real signal
#     give a 64.15% chance of at least one false positive -- exact
#     arithmetic, confirmed by simulation, for k=5, 20 and 40;
#   * one concrete 40-comparison scan of a signal-free dataset really does
#     turn up a "winning" comparison whose effect size looks publishable;
#   * a real, planted effect survives an untouched confirmation set, and a
#     spurious column chosen for looking best among thirty candidates does
#     not -- the day's centrepiece, both p-values on both splits;
#   * varying a subset filter and an outcome definition with no test
#     declared per variant inflates the apparent significance rate several
#     times over one pre-declared comparison;
#   * Bonferroni restores the nominal family-wise rate when the comparison
#     count is known and correct, and fails when the true count exceeds
#     the reported one;
#   * a research log's own length is the true comparison count, and every
#     entry carries a timestamp, a look and an outcome -- including nulls;
#   * a triage score ranks a cheap, decision-relevant question above an
#     expensive, less relevant one;
#   * a time-boxed stopping rule's false-positive rate sits near the
#     nominal alpha, and "stop when significant" inflates it several
#     times over, on the exact same budget of looks;
#   * the object handed to a report stage is refused unless it carries a
#     finding, a confirmation-set result and a comparison count;
#   * the reference suite (`examples/`) passes in full;
#   * the exercise suite (`starter/`) is all-skip on an untouched checkout,
#     and the harness proves it can genuinely FAIL by solving every
#     exercise in a scratch copy, breaking one assertion on purpose,
#     confirming a non-zero exit and a printed failure, then restoring it;
#   * no file is left behind anywhere, and no lab source opens a network
#     connection.
#
# Everything after the one-time install runs offline. Nothing binds a port,
# nothing needs a key. Deterministic, non-interactive, exits 0 only if
