CreoStat HB
is a company with the vision to make
statistical programs easy to use and available
at reasonable prices. The intention is to
encourage and make it easier for small
companies, students and researchers to apply
statistical thinking and methods. Much effort
has been made to create an intuitive interface
demanding as few steps as possible for an
analysis. However, a basic understanding of
statistical concepts like hypothesis testing
and confidence interval is necessary to use the
programs.
Due to a wide
range of statistical procedures, both
statisticians by profession and
non-statisticians with knowledge of the most
common statistical methods, may find the
software useful. As well as using it as a
stand-alone software it may be a good
complement to the software used for the
statistical analyses.
The focus has
been on the planning of studies, surveys or
other situations where statistical analyses of
the collected data will be performed. Another
focus has been on calculating common tests and
confidence intervals when the complete dataset
is not available. If summary statistics, e.g.
means, medians, standard deviations etc. are
known, it will sometimes be possible to
calculate p-values and confidence intervals
based on these. This situation occurs
frequently in publications of research results
where a particular p-value or a confidence
interval may be missing.
CreoStat HB
started in 1990 as a statistical consulting
firm and with a development of statistical
software. Within the company there is a large
experience of statistics in pharmaceutical drug
development and interactions with
authorities.
Other Software
by CreoStat HB:
StudySize is a Windows application for
calculating the sample size needed in a study,
survey, or experiment. It can be used to study
a range of scenarios when the plan is to test,
give an estimate, or calculate a confidence
interval for the parameter of interest. It
comprises a wide range of procedures and give
examples how to perform the calculations for
most of them in a separate document.
The results are
presented as tables or graphs and summarized in
text to be copied and pasted into slides or
other documents.
