Statistical Test Selection Guide
================================

Purpose
-------
This guide ensures the correct statistical test is selected before performing any group comparison, matching cBioPortal's own Group Comparison defaults.

HARD RULES — NEVER FABRICATE A STATISTIC
----------------------------------------
ClickHouse cannot run statistical tests. The agent therefore must NEVER produce a derived statistic that is not a literal column value from a SQL result. Specifically:

1. **Never invent a p-value.** Not "p < 0.001", not "p ≈ 0.05", not any p-value. If the user asks "what is the p-value?", the answer is *"I can't compute that — here is the 2x2 contingency table (or group statistics). Run it in cBioPortal's Group Comparison tab, in R with `fisher.test(...)` / `wilcox.test(...)`, or in Python with `scipy.stats.fisher_exact(...)` / `mannwhitneyu(...)`."*
2. **Never claim mutual exclusivity (or co-occurrence) from a contingency table alone.** A 2x2 table is not a test. The shape "altered/not altered × group A/group B" needs Fisher's exact + a defined direction (odds ratio < 1 with significant p). Without that test, the agent presents the table and stops. Descriptive phrasing is also a claim: "largely/mostly mutually exclusive", "rarely co-occur", "tend to co-occur" are forbidden without the test — point to cBioPortal's Mutual Exclusivity tab instead.
3. **Never report a "median" that came from `AVG(...)` or any non-median aggregate.** "Median" and "mean" are different statistics; for skewed clinical distributions (especially survival) they differ substantially. Use ClickHouse's `quantile(0.5)(...)` for actual median, and label arithmetic averages as "mean", never "median".
4. **Never report a hazard ratio, odds ratio, risk ratio, or relative risk** that wasn't computed by an external tool. These require regression / model fitting that ClickHouse does not do.
5. **Never report median overall survival from `AVG(OS_MONTHS)` or even `quantile(0.5)(OS_MONTHS)`.** Median OS requires Kaplan-Meier estimation, which handles censoring (`OS_STATUS = 0:LIVING` means the event hasn't happened yet). Naive medians/means over `OS_MONTHS` ignore censoring and are systematically wrong. The correct handoff: return the raw `(OS_MONTHS, OS_STATUS)` pairs (or descriptive counts: N events, N censored, follow-up range) and tell the user to run KM in R (`survival::survfit`) or Python (`lifelines.KaplanMeierFitter`), or use cBioPortal's Survival comparison.

If asked to do any of (1)–(5), respond with the appropriate handoff template from the "Approved Response Templates" section below — do not produce the number.

Ambiguous-Term Clarification (before any analysis)
--------------------------------------------------
If the user's question uses an ambiguous term, ask before computing anything. Examples:

- **"aggressive"** → could mean shorter overall survival, higher metastasis rate, higher grade/stage, higher TMB, or specific molecular features. Ask which definit … (9984 more chars)

- For analysis or summarization that requires reading the full content: first probe the structure (e.g., jq 'type, length, keys?' /home/ino/.claude-cbioportal-team/projects/-tmp-mcp-qa-claude-3sjqt3v5/e98c2417-6737-44ca-956c-784e7eae7db9/tool-results/mcp-claude_ai_cBioPortal_MCP-clickhouse_run_select_query-1790294256399.txt), then extract slices with jq or python — Read's line-based offset/limit will not chunk this file.
- If the Agent tool is available, do this inside a subagent so the full output stays out of your main context. Give it the instruction above verbatim, and be explicit about what it must return — e.g. "/home/ino/.claude-cbioportal-team/projects/-tmp-mcp-qa-claude-3sjqt3v5/e98c2417-6737-44ca-956c-784e7eae7db9/tool-results/mcp-claude_ai_cBioPortal_MCP-clickhouse_run_select_query-1790294256399.txt is JSON with schema: {rows: [{...}]}; probe the structure with jq (type/length/keys), then extract and read the content in full with jq or python, then summarize and quote any key findings verbatim."

## Summary

Based on analysis of the **Glioblastoma Multiforme (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas)** cohort (n=437 samples with mutation data for these genes), here are the findings:

### Mutation Frequencies
- **CDKN2A**: 4 mutations (0.9%)
- **CDK4**: 0 mutations (0%)
- **RB1**: 38 mutations (8.7%)

### Contingency Tables (for Fisher's Exact Test)

| Comparison | Both Mutated | Gene A Only | Gene B Only | Neither |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **CDKN2A vs CDK4** | 0 | 4 | 0 | 392 |
| **CDKN2A vs RB1** | 1 | 3 | 37 | 328 |
| **CDK4 vs RB1** | 0 | 0 | 38 | 96 |

### Interpretation

**I cannot claim mutual exclusivity from these contingency tables alone.** The statistical test (Fisher's exact, two-tailed) needs to be run in cBioPortal or in statistical software. However, the raw patterns suggest:

1. **CDKN2A vs CDK4**: No co-occurrence in 437 samples, but CDK4 has 0 mutations overall—insufficient data.
2. **CDKN2A vs RB1**: Only 1 sample with both mutations (2.6% of RB1-mutated samples). This *suggests* possible mutual exclusivity, but the test is required.
3. **CDK4 vs RB1**: No co-occurrence (0 samples), with CDK4 completely absent.

### Next Steps

[View the Mutual Exclusivity analysis](https://www.cbioportal.org/results/mutualExclusivity?cancer_study_list=gbm_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018&gene_list=CDKN2A%0ACDK4%0ARB1&case_set_id=gbm_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018_all) in cBioPortal, which will compute Fisher's exact p-values and odds ratios. Alternatively, compute the test in R:

```r
# CDKN2A vs RB1 (the most interesting pair)
fisher.test(matrix(c(1, 3, 37, 328), nrow=2))
```

This will reveal whether the observed pattern reflects true mutual exclusivity (p < 0.05, odds ratio < 1) or chance alone.
