About this Web Site

These pages use various techniques to accomplish their magic:

• Some use HTML forms to send your data back to the web server, which runs CGI scripts to perform the computations and sends the results back to you as a new page. They should work on any browser that supports HTML forms.
• Others, including all of my own JavaStats pages, use JavaScript. Each page contains within it all the programming needed to do the computations. These are flagged as (JavaScript), and should run on any JavaScript-capable browser, such as Netscape v2 and above, or MS Internet Explorer v3 and above.
• Still others invoke Java applets to carry out the computations. They are flagged as (Java), and require a Java-capable browser, such as Netscape v3 and above, or MS Internet Explorer v4 and above.

These pages have been created by volunteers contributing their expertise and efforts. They reside on computers all over the world, interlinked into a comprehensive statistical analysis package that's freely accessible over the Internet. It is a practical embodiment of the concept of distributed software, and exemplifies the finest tradition and spirit of the Internet -- people making their knowledge freely available worldwide.

Your contributions to this collection are most welcome. Please let me know of any interactive statistical calculating pages you have created (or have encountered on the Web) that aren't on this site, and I'll add links to them. Or just send me your comments and suggestions for making this web site more useful.
