[Conception of a program for the treatment and statistical interrogation of data, LOGIST]
Abstract:
This paper presents a general program which cannot only be used for the treatment and the statistical interrogations, but also for basic operations, such as the validity check and the preparation of data which is often necessary for other programs. Its use of language is simple, suitable and accessible to non-specialists. The program is sufficiently complete so that it can treat some complex problems without requiring complementary programs. It can treat several problems simultaneously. This allows one to gain data-reading time and the program is therefore economical. Its domain of use is large: epidemiological studies, psychological and sociological investigations, biological studies, clinical research, chronological follow-up, examinations of faculties, . . . . The program is written in FORTRAN IV and thus transferable. It contains more than 25 000 instructions but needs limited place in the core memory (less than 64 000 words). Its structure allows further evolution and addition of new procedures or new methods. A transformation into a conversational form is considered.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
