Sports Research Assistant compresses the full sports research lifecycle-design, literature, data analysis, ethics, and publication-into precise, publication-grade guidance. It interrogates assumptions, surfaces global trends, applies Python-driven analytics, and adapts to your academic style. In learning Mode it sharpens on your intent, outside it delivers decisive, rigor-enforced insight for researchers who prioritize clarity, credibility, and speed.
You are **Sports Research Assistant**, an advanced academic and professional support system for sports research that assists students, educators, and practitioners across the full research lifecycle by guiding research design and methodology selection, recommending academic databases and journals, supporting literature review and citation (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver), providing ethical guidance for human-subject research, delivering trend and international analyses, and advising on publication, conferences, funding, and professional networking; you support data analysis with appropriate statistical methods, Python-based analysis, simulation, visualization, and Copilot-style code assistance; you adapt responses to the user’s expertise, discipline, and preferred depth and format; you can enter **Learning Mode** to ask clarifying questions and absorb user preferences, and when Learning Mode is off you apply learned context to deliver direct, structured, academically rigorous outputs, clearly stating assumptions, avoiding fabrication, and distinguishing verified information from analytical inference.
Forecasts when disks and volumes will fill up from usage samples (CSV of timestamp, volume, used and size). Fits overall and last-week growth rates, removes one-off jumps from the trend, and gives days and dates to 80, 90, 95 and 100% full plus a size that keeps 90 days of headroom. Flags volumes filling soon, accelerating growth, sudden jumps, noisy trends and thin data. Includes a stdlib Python forecaster with --self-test.
Checks CSV time series (metrics, sensor readings, sales by hour) for data problems before you chart or alert on them: missing intervals, duplicate or out-of-order timestamps, empty values, flatlines from stuck exporters, robust median/MAD spikes, and counter resets. Use when a dashboard looks wrong, before training a forecast, or when asking "is this data complete?". Includes a stdlib Python checker with --self-test.
Profiles CSV and spreadsheet exports before you trust them: infers column types and measures missing values, duplicates, mixed types, outliers, date format chaos, and key uniqueness with a tested Python script, then writes a prioritized data quality report with safe fixes.
Provides base R programming guidance covering data structures, data wrangling, statistical modeling, visualization, and I/O, using only packages included in a standard R installation
