New protocol enhances LLM statistical report accuracy and reproducibility

Researchers have developed a new protocol called claim-locked reporting to improve the reproducibility and accuracy of statistical reports generated by large language models. This method ensures that numerical values, effect directions, and claim strengths are fixed before the LLM generates connective prose, addressing issues like numerical drift and inverted effect directions. Experiments on fMRI functional-connectivity and randomized controlled trials showed significant improvements in reproducibility over existing methods, with claim-locked reporting also demonstrating lower token usage and latency when tested with the DeepSeek model.

    Provenance Before Prose: Claim-Locked Reporting

    arXiv:2608.25336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can fluently verbalize statistical evidence, yet statistical reports can still drift numerical values, invert effect directions, or restate thresholded contrasts as categorical effects. We frame these fa…
