Analyze Experiment Results

Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

Step 1: Locate Results

Find all relevant JSON/CSV result files:

• Check `figures/`, `results/`, or project-specific output directories
• Parse JSON results into structured data

Step 2: Build Comparison Table

Organize results by:

• **Independent variables**: model type, hyperparameters, data config
• **Dependent variables**: primary metric (e.g., perplexity, accuracy, loss), secondary metrics
• **Delta vs baseline**: always compute relative improvement

Step 3: Statistical Analysis

• If multiple seeds: report mean +/- std, check reproducibility
• If sweeping a parameter: identify trends (monotonic, U-shaped, plateau)
• Flag outliers or suspicious results

Step 4: Generate Insights

For each finding, structure as: 1. **Observation**: what the data shows (with numbers) 2. **Interpretation**: why this might be happening 3. **Implication**: what this means for the research question 4. **Next step**: what experiment would test the interpretation

Step 5: Update Documentation

If findings are significant:

• Propose updates to project notes or experiment reports
• Draft a concise finding statement (1-2 sentences)

Output Format

Always include: 1. Raw data table 2. Key findings (numbered, concise) 3. Suggested next experiments (if any)
