Calculation confidence

Your results should be trustworthy—not a black box.

DataStatPro calculations are tested with fixed datasets and compared with independently executed results from established statistical software. We document what matched, what differs by convention, and what still needs more coverage.

How it works

Four checks between your data and the result you see

Verification follows the calculation from raw rows to the values displayed by DataStatPro. This helps catch problems in formulas, missing-data handling, statistical defaults, and result formatting.

STEP 01

Trace the real calculation

We identify the production formula, preprocessing rules, options, and output path used by the app.

STEP 02

Use known test data

Hand-checkable and challenging datasets test ordinary cases, ties, missing values, sparse cells, and boundaries.

STEP 03

Compare other software

The same data and aligned statistical method are run independently in Python, R, and SPSS where supported.

STEP 04

Fix and re-test

Material differences are investigated. Confirmed defects are corrected and protected with repeatable tests.

Current coverage

Calculations checked across DataStatPro

Verification is broader than publication tables. The current evidence also covers core descriptive, inferential, association, regression, and experimental-design calculations.

Reading the evidence

What our verification labels mean

Cross-software verified

DataStatPro's production calculation agreed within the declared numerical tolerance for the specific methods, options, and fixed datasets tested.

Aligned statistical methods

Software packages can use different valid defaults—for example, quartile estimators or exact versus asymptotic p-values. Comparisons align the statistical method before results are evaluated.

Software-specific evidence

Each reference package contributes the equivalent outputs it supports, creating complementary evidence across Python, R, and SPSS.

Ongoing quality assurance

Repeatable fixtures and regression tests help keep covered calculations consistent as DataStatPro continues to evolve.

Built for transparency

Verification is an ongoing quality process

Audits have identified real issues in preprocessing, formula selection, missing-value handling, statistical conventions, and exports. The important result is not that differences never occur—it is that they are traced, corrected, re-run, and documented.

  • Calculations are tested through the production path used by DataStatPro.
  • Results are compared at full precision before display rounding.
  • Reference software versions and unavailable procedures are recorded.
  • Corrected defects receive focused regression tests.
