Date of this release: Sometime during August 1999

***************
Changes in version 2c:
* Addition of one new script:
- Durbin.rexx (Durbin Test - Incomplete Block Design)

* Changes to the HELP files and Stats_Macros.TCD macrosheet to reflect the new
script. I have also cleaned up the html code.
***************

***************
Changes in version 2b:

* Addition of three new scripts:
- Chi-Sq_GO_Fit.rexx (Goodness of Fit test) - this complements the included
"Normality" test which is also based on the Chi-Sq Test
- Shapiro.rexx (Shapiro-Wilk Test for Normality)
- Deviates.rexx (Random Normal Deviates Generator)

* Changes to the HELP files and STATS_Macros.TCD macrosheet to reflect the new
scripts. I have also added material in the HELP files related to the "Normality"
test, linking it with the new "Goodness of Fit" test material. I would
appreciate feedback/assistance on this as my ability to interpret the Chi-Sq
tests is limited and text books are very confusing! (Rudy)
***************

***************
Changes in version 2a:

* Corrections to two scripts:
- T-test_IndSamples_UneqVar.rexx (silly editing error corrected)
- Fisher_Exact.rexx (programming error corrected)

* Addition of two new scripts:
- Cochran.rexx (Cochran's test for related observations)
- Smirnov_2W.rexx (Smirnov test on two independent samples)

* Changes to the HELP files and STATS_Macros.TCD macrosheet to reflect the new scripts

What is it?

This archive contains a number of Arexx script files (32!) that are called
by TurboCalc macros to produce statistical analysis on data contained
in a spreadsheet. Here are the files:

Want to know more? Read the included help files!

NOTE: We have not been able to finish the help files and some of the scripts for
this release. However, it is about 98% complete and still usable.

Changes?

This is the second version of TcalcStats. It replaces the first version
developed for use with TurboCalc 3.5.

This version uses Turbocalc 5+ but may also work with TurboCalc
version 4 (untested).

Please note: there were some changes made to the Arexx command set in
TurboCalc between 3.5 and 4/5. Also, TurboCalc's public screen name
changed. These changes, along with many, many, others are reflected in the scripts.

What is included?

There are basically four categories of files in this distribution:

1. The Arexx script files that do the work and which MUST be put in
the TurboCalc/Arexx drawer.
2. The spreadsheet file that contains the macros that call the scripts
(called "STATS_Macros.TCD", and which can be put anywhere but will be
installed in the TurboCalc/arexx drawer.
3. The help files that tell you how to use the macros and interpret the
results! These files would normally be put in the Turbocalc/Help/Stats_Help
drawer but you can install them anywhere. We have tried to produce two types of
help files - Amigaguide and HTML. They are identical (we hope!) so choose which
one you prefer.
4. Special arexx library files that must go in "Libs:". These are:
>rexxreqtools.library< copyright 1992-94 by Rafael D'Hallewyn
>rexxmathlib.library< copyright 1995 by Thomas Richter

Installation?

Use the supplied "Install_Tcalcstats2c" program to put things in their
proper places.

It is also vital that you have an "Assign" for Turbocalc. If the
installer doesn't find one, it will prompt you to create the assign
and add it to your "user-startup" file. The assign must be active or
the scripts will not work!!

Who did it?

Rudy Kohut did the first version by himself (and it shows!).

Rudy and Nick Bergquist teamed up to improve and expand the scripts
and to create vastly improved help files in both amigaguide and HTML
formats.

Rudy lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Nick lives in Greenwich, U.K.
