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)

Excellent! Now I have the summary data. Let me verify these findings and present the results appropriately:

## Survival Comparison: TP53 + KRAS Mutants vs KRAS-Only Mutants

**Study:** Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes (ICGC/TCGA, Nature 2020) — 2,583 samples across 38 tumor types

**Summary Statistics:**

| Group | N patients | Events (deceased) | Censored (living) | Median OS (months) | Follow-up range (months) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **KRAS-only mutant** | 3 | 0 | 3 | Not reached | 0–29.6 |
| **TP53 + KRAS mutant** | 187 | 122 (65%) | 65 | 33.5 | 33.5 |

---

## Statistical Significance

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: I cannot compute the p-value or hazard ratio from ClickHouse alone.** Survival data requires **Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimation** to properly account for censoring (patients still alive who haven't yet experienced the event). The raw `OS_MONTHS` median without KM is systematically misleading.

The apparent difference is stark: the TP53 + KRAS group has 65% of patients with a recorded death event, while the KRAS-only group has zero deaths in a short follow-up. However:

1. **KRAS-only group is tiny** (N=3) — too small for reliable statistical inference.
2. **KM curve comparison is essential** — only a log-rank test will tell you if the difference is statistically significant.

### To compute the p-value and compare survival curves, use:

- **cBioPortal:** [Navigate to Group Comparison → Survival tab](#) and define the two groups manually.
- **R:** 
  ```r
  library(survival)
  survfit(Surv(OS_MONTHS, OS_STATUS=="1:DECEASED") ~ group, data=your_data)
  survdiff(Surv(OS_MONTHS, OS_STATUS=="1:DECEASED") ~ group, data=your_data)  # log-rank p-value
  ```
- **Python:**
  ```python
  from lifelines import KaplanMeierFitter, logrank_test
  kmf = KaplanMeierFitter()
  # Fit each group and plot, then run:
  logrank_test(t_A, e_A, t_B, e_B)  # returns test_statistic, p_value
  ```

---

**Note:** The KRAS-only group's tiny sample size and lack of events make reliable survival comparison impossible. Consider whether this comparison is meaningful for your analysis.
