We have developed a new statistical analysis package for use by the clinical investigator, the clinician, and the laboratory researcher. This package attempts to implement the following philosophy: The programs should be essentially self-teaching, friendly, and forgiving; the programs should educate the user regarding the underlying theory, assumptions, and interpretation of the statistical methods involved; the programs should automatically test relevant assumptions and warn the user when these assumptions appear to have been violated; the programs should make recommendations about the availability of alternative statistical methods and automatically perform such analyses when indicated; the programs should interpret the results; and the programs should mimic, insofar as possible, the logic used in a routine, elementary statistical consultation. Several programs have been developed, extensively tested, and used.
我们已经开发出一款新的统计分析软件包，供临床研究人员、临床医生和实验室研究人员使用。该软件包试图贯彻以下理念：程序应基本具备自学功能、友好且宽容；程序应就所涉及统计方法的基础理论、假设及解释对用户进行指导；程序应自动检验相关假设，并在这些假设似乎被违反时向用户发出警告；程序应就替代统计方法的可用性提出建议，并在需要时自动进行此类分析；程序应解释结果；并且程序应尽可能模仿常规基础统计咨询中所使用的逻辑。目前已经开发了几个程序，并进行了广泛测试和使用。
