Background:

Scientific research generates large datasets requiring efficient analysis.
Traditional data analysis methods can be time-consuming and complex.
Accessible tools are needed for rapid laboratory data assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a FORTRAN program package for efficient laboratory data analysis.
To provide scientists with a tool for rapid assessment of experimental data.
To integrate statistical and graphical analysis capabilities.

Main Methods:

Utilized FORTRAN programming language for package development.
Implemented data input via keyboard or disk files as coordinate pairs.
Included routines for X-Y plotting, paired differences, Student's t-test, and least squares linear regression.

Related Experiment Videos

Enabled data modification, curve fitting, and input/output (I/O) in various formats.

Main Results:

The program facilitates rapid assessment of laboratory data.
Offers both graphical (plotting) and statistical (t-test, regression) analysis.
Supports flexible data handling in single pair or column formats.
Demonstrates utility through presented examples of data analysis.

Conclusions:

The FORTRAN package provides a valuable tool for scientific investigators.
Enhances the efficiency of laboratory data analysis.
Simplifies complex statistical and graphical data interpretation.
