Statistics on-line calculators
Here are some on-line calculators you can use directly from your desk (without using MINITAB!)
You have to enter the data directly yourself – and paste the results into your own document, where you can reformat it or edit it to your heart’s content!

WebStat |
All-purpose calculator,
using Java Applets. Similar (but not identical) to MINITAB Good for
contingency tables, t-tests (but does not contain non-parametric tests) http://dostat.stat.sc.edu/webstat/3.0/oldindex.html Use with the file
internet.txt as sample data (third
item in this table) |
StatCrunch |
The updated, and commercial version of WebStat
(above) It is simple to use and
with extensive help facilities. Highly Recommended! This version contains
non-parametrics and superior storage and output
facilities. Well worth the
very modest price ($5 for 6 months, $8 for a year) http://www.statcrunch.com Use with the file
internet.txt or internet2.txt as
sample data |
internet.txt
|
The sample data
file (internet.txt) can be downloaded here.
Save it on your own computer as a text (.txt) file under the name internet.txt http://mh-web.co.uk/statstore/internet.txt See also http://mh-web.co.uk/statstore/internet2.txt for the same file
as above but with summary data included in it
|
General |
Excellent all purpose (but only 2x2 chi-square) http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/
|
HyperStat |
Good for
descriptive statistics of a continuous variable (and especially for detecting
skewness and kurtosis of a distribution). Paste the results in! http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/stat_analysis/descriptive.html |
Chi-Square |
Allows you to label- but does not give you an exact p http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/ballc/webtools/web_chi.html
|
Chi-square |
Gives you a more exact ‘p’ – enter d.f. and Chi-square (c2) http://www.anu.edu.au/nceph/surfstat/surfstat-home/tables/chi.php
|
t-test |
Useful for continuous data – enter it manually for each group http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/ttest1.cfm |
t-tests |
Several t-test
options available, including one tailed tests on a single sample |
Wilcoxon
(Mann-Whitney) |
The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests are, in practice, exactly
equivalent tests. For use when the
normality of the distribution is not known (i.e. very often) http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/Service/Statistics/Wilcoxon_Test.html |
Examples of ‘results’ files |
Here are two
examples of ‘results’ files (a) using EXCEL
graphs and add-ins plus WebStat and other software
mentioned (b) Using only WebStat http://mh-web.co.uk/statstore/internet2.doc |
WebStat
