jbes-tables-figures
Use when designing the simulation tables and figures for a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) methods paper so size, power, coverage, and the empirical results are legible to both statisticians and applied economists. Improves exhibits; it does not change results.

# Tables & Figures (jbes-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Simulation tables are dense and a reader cannot read off whether the method controls size - Size, power, coverage, bias, and RMSE are scattered instead of side-by-side - Figures lack confidence bands, or compare against no baseline - Exhibit notes do not state the DGP, sample size, replications, or nominal level ## What JBES exhibits must communicate A JBES paper is judged by method experts who read the tables as the evidence. Exhibits carry two distinct jobs: the **Monte Carlo exhibits** that establish the method's statistical properties, and the **empirical exhibits** that establish relevance on real data. Both must be readable by a statistician *and* an applied economist, since the journal bridges the two communities. ## Monte Carlo exhibits - Put **size and power side-by-side** across DGPs and sample sizes; mark the nominal level so over/under-rejection is obvious. - For interval methods, report **coverage and average length** together; for point estimators, **bias and RMSE** together. - Always show the **incumbent baseline** in the same table under identical DGPs. - Figures: size-power curves, coverage-vs-n plots, e

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jbes-tables-figures --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
