v.3.02a
20th September-2006- The zipped file is
10Mb in size and is named ttest302a_setup.zip. It can be downloaded
here. The program implements a standard
independent means t-test on data where you only have access to the mean, sd, and
n for each sample. It also computes the Fisher homogeneity of variance test and
outputs the results for both homogenous and non-homogenous variance t-tests, along
with Cohen's d and eta-square effect size under homogeneity and non-homogeneity
conditions. The "publication-ready" results can be printed, pasted from the
clipboard direct into a Word Processor document, or saved into an rtf format
file. A large help file (on-line) which explains how to use it and
defines the formulae and procedures used accompanies the program. I've also
included much background information and advice about the wisdom of testing the
homogeneity of variances. Single or multiple t-tests (with Bonferroni
probability computed) can now be undertaken with
the program, with data entry from the keyboard or via Excel or csv textfile
input. The installation fileset includes three test files (2 x Excel and 1 x csv
format) to get you started.
Version 3.01 (April 2006) corrects the status-bar description for the program, the formula for Cohen's d in the Help file, and some component calculation labels on the main screen. Nothing dramatic but the labels and relevant help-file section on Cohen's d needed clearing up for the sake of correctness. Screen images have been updated in the help file.
Version 3.02 (September 2006) corrects for the menu graphics being incorrectly referenced to the "current" directory instead of the install directory. This meant you couldn't access the reports unless your analysis file happened to be in the installation directory. Sigh ... we live and learn!
Version 3.02a (September
2006) provides much more information in the help-file regarding the Welch-Satterthwaite
and Welch adjusted degrees of freedom, including a new example - and brings attention to the issue of
computing effect sizes using the Welch-corrected degrees of freedom. No changes
made to the program.
* Important note. If you still have t-test v. 2.1 installed, you will need to uninstall it (remove it) prior to installing v. 3.0 (use Add/Remove programs).
An audio-visual (AV) tutorial file accompanies the program - which walks you through all the program functions and output. The 145 slide tutorial lasts 16 minutes, 16 seconds - and may either be downloaded as an executable file (in a zipped archive) which can be run on your own machine, or you can run the AV tutorial directly from the web, using the Macromedia Flash version of the tutorial.
