A statistical package containing tests widely utilized in biostatistics, public policy, and law. The collection includes tests for equality of means and variances, randomness, measures of relative variability, robust tests of symmetry, and omnibus and directional tests of normality. It was authored by Joseph L. Gastwirth and is illustrated with simulations and real-life examples.
Use Cases
- Testing for equality of means and variances in experimental data based on the described statistical tests
- Assessing data randomness and symmetry based on the robust tests included in the package
- Evaluating normality of distributions using the omnibus and directional tests mentioned in the description
- Analyzing relative variability in policy or legal datasets based on the implemented measures
Strengths
- Includes new robust tests of symmetry and normality not found in standard packages
- All tests are illustrated with real-life examples from legal statistics, economics, and biostatistics
- Contains graphical counterparts like robust QQ plots for enhanced analysis
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
