Categorical data
Fisher's, Chi square, McNemar's, Sign test, CI of proportion, NNT (number needed to treat), kappa.
Continuous data
Descriptive statistics, detect outlier, t test, CI of mean / difference / ratio / SD, multiple comparisons tests, linear regression.
Statistical distributions and interpreting P values
Calculate P from t, z, r, F or chi-square, or vice-versa. View Binomial, Poisson or Gaussian distribution. Correct a P value for multiple comparisons and Bayes.
Random numbers
Assign subjects to groups, simulate data.
Chemical and radiochemical data
Create and convert molar solutions, convert moles & grams, radioactivity calculations.
