This skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring event-driven workflows and robust notification systems for Databricks jobs. It covers setting up various notification destinations (Slack, Teams, Email, PagerDuty) and triggering alerts based on job lifecycle events (success, failure, start). Furthermore, it demonstrates advanced monitoring using system audit tables and creating automated SQL alerts for critical data pipeline monitoring.

Execute arbitrary PySpark or pure Python code directly on Fabric Spark compute using the Livy API. This method creates ephemeral sessions without generating persistent notebook artifacts. It provides full read/write access to lakehouse Delta tables, making it ideal for agent-driven ETL pipelines, quick data transformations, or analyses where session cleanup is critical. Users must manage the session lifecycle (create, run, and delete).

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous standards for conducting and reporting advanced demographic analyses. It covers essential techniques, including constructing accurate rates, performing decomposition, generating life tables, and handling event history/survival data. The core focus is on methodological rigor, ensuring the reproducibility of results, and honestly reporting uncertainty (e.g., confidence and credible intervals) to meet the standards of expert peer review.

This guide assists users in structuring and rigorously defending the methodological design for demographic manuscripts. It provides detailed guidance on selecting and justifying advanced techniques—including life tables, decomposition analysis, survival models, Age-Period-Cohort (APC) modeling, and microsimulation. It emphasizes critical steps like establishing identification assumptions, addressing causal biases (selection and exposure), and formulating an adjudication test to rule out rival explanations, ensuring the research is methodologically robust.

This skill guides the execution and reporting standards for advanced demographic analysis, particularly for Population and Development Reviews (PDR). It ensures that demographic rates, life tables, and projections are not only statistically rigorous (handling uncertainty, denominators, and complex inference) but also clearly interpreted in the context of development, policy, and socio-economic meaning. It focuses on reproducibility and methodological transparency.

This skill guides the rigorous defense of research design for demographic studies, particularly those linking population dynamics to development outcomes. It assists in selecting and justifying appropriate methods—such as life tables, decomposition, event-history modeling, and age-period-cohort analysis—and critically addresses the identification of causal links between population structure and development progress. It focuses on strengthening the argument by confronting rival hypotheses and establishing methodological rigor, without writing code.
