LurkingSnail Stats is a user-friendly application for resampling oriented analyses of numerical data. It contains several basic statistical procedures based on randomization and bootstrap techniques (see below). Theoretical background for those methods is clearly presented in a book: B.F.J. Manly Randomization, bootstrap and Monte Carlo methods in biology. (Chapman & Hall, London, 1997).

The application does not require any installation procedure - downloaded file (lss.zip, 460 KB) ought to be unzipped into a directory preferred by a user. The output will consist of a single file, lss.exe. To uninstall LurkingSnail Stats, just delete the above-mentioned file.

• Fisher's one sample randomization test
• one-sample bootstrap-t test
• Fisher's paired comparison rand. test
• two-sample randomization test
• two-sample bootstrap-t test
• two-sample Ter Braak's test
• the comparison of two samples on multiple measurements
• one-way ANOVA (rand. version of F test)
• Levene's and Brown-Forsythe's tests for constant variance (rand. version)
• simple linear regression (coefficients for two models; Pearson's r included) - rand. testing for r=0 (in model I regression, same as testing for slope=0)
