Abstract: A computer and computer implemented method and program product for analyzing statistical data in which the data to be analyzed need not be transformed into a “Normal” distribution, thus avoiding introduction of error. Generally, the user first determines a test statistic (formula) and associated null hypothesis. Then the distribution from which the original data arose, consistent with the null hypothesis, is defined. The computer then produces numerous randomly-generated data sets of the identical size and dimensions of the original statistical data set, according to the distribution defined above. A numerical value of the test statistic is computed from the test statistic formula for each randomly generated data set and stored in a vectored array. The numerical value of the test statistic computed from the original statistical data is then compared with the array and the associated percentile determined.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and program for analyzing statistical an original data set having a first size, dimension and distribution. Multiple random data sets are generated, each having a second size, dimension and distribution related to the first size, dimension and distribution of the original data set. Numerical values of test statistics corresponding to the random data sets are calculated in accordance with a predetermined test statistic formula. A relationship between the numerical values corresponding to the random data sets and the numerical value of the test statistic corresponding to the random data set, calculated in accordance with the test statistic formula, is determined. It is determined that the original data set includes at least one factor not based on chance when the relationship indicates that the numerical value of the original test statistic is not within a range of the numerical values corresponding to the random data sets.
