Best Practices

Best practices for using the Z Framework effectively.

Mathematical Rigor

High-Precision Arithmetic

  • Always use mpmath with dps=50 for precision-critical calculations
  • Validate numerical stability across different precision levels
  • Document precision requirements for each calculation

Statistical Validation

  • Use bootstrap methods with minimum 1000 samples
  • Report confidence intervals: CI [lower, upper]
  • Include statistical significance: p-values
  • Document validation methodology

Empirical Verification

  • Validate claims with independent datasets
  • Cross-validate results across different N ranges
  • Document reproducibility procedures

Implementation Guidelines

Code Organization

  • Separate mathematical core from application logic
  • Use modular design for reusable components
  • Maintain clean separation between domains

Performance Optimization

  • Use vectorized operations where possible
  • Implement parallel processing for large datasets
  • Cache expensive computations

Error Handling

  • Validate input parameters
  • Handle numerical edge cases gracefully
  • Provide informative error messages

Scientific Methodology

Documentation

  • Include mathematical derivations
  • Document parameter selection rationale
  • Provide complete reproduction instructions

Validation Protocols

  • Test across multiple scale ranges
  • Validate against known mathematical results
  • Include negative controls and edge cases

Peer Review

  • Submit critical findings for independent verification
  • Document limitations and assumptions
  • Include sensitivity analyses
