Introduction

STATS is dedicated to the statistical analysis of your data. We offer here the most widely used statistical methods for biological data analysis. It is a collection of ready-to-use and customizable tools for the statistical analysis of data. It offers the most widely used statistical methods for biological data analysis, from descriptive to parametric and non-parametric inference statistics, to quantitatively assess whether your biological data supports your hypothesis.

Why do we use statistics

Statistical knowledge helps you use the proper methods to collect data, employ the correct analyses, and effectively present the results. Statistics is a crucial process behind how we make discoveries in science, make decisions based on data, and make predictions. The issues of statistical applications and interpretations have been identified as one of the leading contributors to current research irreproducibility [1] and many suggestions have been put forth [2]. Since not all biologists are familiar with statistics, we aim at bridging the gap between data generation and data analysis to extract insightful conclusions.

Descriptive versus inference statistics
