cps-data-analysis
Use when running and reporting the analyses for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript — estimation, uncertainty, robustness, and multi-method triangulation on comparative data. Sets analysis norms; it does not choose the identification strategy (see cps-research-design).

# Data Analysis (cps-data-analysis)
Once the design is fixed (`cps-research-design`), this skill governs how the analyses are run and
reported so a CPS reviewer trusts them. Comparative data bring distinctive hazards: few clusters
(countries), cross-national measurement error, missing data that differ by regime, and the temptation to
over-read a panel correlation as causal. The standard is modern, transparent, and replication-ready.
## When to trigger
- Estimating the main results, robustness, and heterogeneity
- A reviewer questioned standard errors, specification, measurement, or fragility of the result
- Deciding what goes in the main text vs. the supplementary/online appendix
- Triangulating quantitative estimates with case evidence
