Abstract

Statistics is the science and art of summarizing quantitative research. The use of statistical program enables efficient statistical processes in research. InVivoStat is the program developed based on the R program, the statistical analysis features are as follows; descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, etc.), single and repeated measurements of analysis of parametric statistics (t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA), power analysis (calculation of sample size), graphic plotting (scatter plots, box plots, etc.), p-value adjustment (multiple comparison test), dose-response analysis (nonlinear curve fitting), non-parametric statistics (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney), Chi-square and Fisher test, correlation analysis, regression analysis, survival analysis, and multivariate statistics (Principal Component Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, and Linear Discriminant Analysis). This program is suitable for those who have limited access to another licensed program. Importantly, researchers can refer to using Invivostat for statistical analysis in openly published scholarly work without risking copyright infringement.
