# Analyze Quantitative Data · Neuman Ch 12 Workflow This skill guides users through systematic quantitative data analysis based on **W. Lawrence Neuman, *Social Research Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches*, 7e, Chapter 12** (p.393-430). The chapter's procedure is decomposed into 7 sequential steps, each with a dedicated prompt template that enforces methodological rigor. ## When to invoke Invoke this skill when the user: - Has a survey, experiment, or numerical dataset to analyze - Asks "how do I analyze X?" with quantitative data - Wants to run a regression, t-test, ANOVA, chi-square - Needs to interpret statistical output - Is preparing a Methods or Results section for a quantitative paper Do **not** invoke for: - Pure data engineering / ETL (no analysis intent) - Machine learning prediction (different methodology) - Qualitative analysis (use `analyze-qualitative-data` instead) ## The 7-step procedure (Neuman Ch 12) | # | Step | Prompt file | Neuman pages | |---|------|-------------|--------------| | 1 | **Build codebook** | `prompts/01-codebook.md` | 393-394 | | 2 | **Clean data** (wild code + contingency) | `prompts/02-clean-data.md` | 397 | | 3 | **Univariate analysis** (frequency, central tendency, variation) | `prompts/03-univariate.md` | 397-403 | | 4 | **Bivariate analysis** (scattergram, percentaged tables, association measures) | `prompts/04-bivariate.md` | 403-416 | | 5 | **Multivariate elaboration** (5 patterns) | `prompts/05-multivariate-ela
