### Features of this app ### 1. By using Stats tester mini, you can perform some statistics tests and obtain graphs by an easy operation. 2. Since one sample group (multiple data) is entered in one window, it is very easy to enter or edit the data. 3. Unlike other test apps, not only final conclusions such as p-values, but also intermediate results are shown. 4. Input data and test results can be recorded by sharing (mail, memo). There is no need to make notes on paper. 5. You can import data by copy/paste from apps such as Excel, Numbers, memo, etc. 6. Numerical input is very easy with the built-In ten-keyboard (phone and calculator layouts). 7. This app has been fully verified to work with the M1 Mac. The M1 Mac makes it easy to work with other apps (Numbers, Excel etc.). ## how to use ## Each test screen has [Help], [Example], [Graph], [Calc], [Clear] and [Share] Buttons. On the "How to use this app" screen, details such as its features and specifications are written. ### Statistic methods ### Below are the statistical methods in Stats tester mini. (The upgraded version "Stats tester plus" offers 18 more methods.) 1. Mean, SD, Skewness, Kurtosis, etc. 1) Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic means 2) Standard Deviation (2) 3) Standard Error of the mean (sem) 4) 95 and 99% Confidence interval (CI) 5) Sum 6) Sum of Square 7) Variance, Unbiased variance 8) Coefficient of variation (%CV) 9) Skewness (2) 10) Kurtosis (3) 11) Graph 2. Median, Range, Quartiles and Boxplot. 1) Median 2) Maximum 3) Minimum 4) 1st Quartile 5) 3rd Quartile 6) Quartile Deviation 7) Boxplot Graph 3. One-Sample t-Test (to Specified Mean) 1) Mean 2) Standard deviation (2) 3) Standard error of the mean (sem) 4) One-sample t-test --> p value 5) Confidence interval (CI) 6) Graph 4. Two-Sample t-Test (Student's and Welch's t-Tests) 1) Mean 2) Standard deviation (2) 3) Standard error of the mean (sem) 4) Student t-test --> p value 5) Welch's procedure --> p value 6) Graph 5. Paired-Sample t-test 1) Mean 2) Standard error of the mean (sem) 3) Paired t-test --> p value 4) Graph 6.

This calculator app is loosely based on a pocket calculator designed in Japan in 1978. It provides arithmetic, trigonometric, logarithmic and statistical functions and fairly high internal precision with a display mode of 8 digits in portrait and 12 digits in landscape mode, which can be interchanged freely while entering numbers, and a scientific notation mode with 5/9 digits mantissa and 2 digits exponent. Internally it uses Decimals for primitive operations and Double floating point numbers for everything else, so in general it should be somehow more accurate than the original calculator model it was based on. I added a graph display for the statistical mode, a shareable calculation log, a manual (all accessible by tapping on the title line above the buttons) and a random number function that produces random numbers in the range [0..1]. The operational correctness is checked with unit tests. All examples from the original manual work with the same or with higher accuracy. There are about 45 unit tests until now covering different combinations, which should be sufficient for everyday educational or household calculations. The unit test set will be further expanded with future versions. The app does not store or transmit any data apart from the user-initiated log file sharing, it just needs permission to install and use the included 7 segment font for emulating the LCD display. There are no advertisements. The "OFF" Button exits the application immediately. Localizations for other languages are in preparation, this mainly concerns the manual and translations in the additional views. The main display uses a universal standard 7-segment display without localization options for clarity. The dark mode aims at a LED effect instead of LCD. Made the default blue instead of red, though there were no blue LEDs in 1978. In the settings you can choose from red, green or blue for now. The localizations may still contain errors and missing translations.

Written in Swift 5. This application is completely free of AI, so you can be fairly sure only human errors are to be reckoned with...

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Stats tester mini at Free against Tikal's $1.99. Stats tester mini also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Tikal's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
