11/19 I have a set of numerical values, and I want to determine if there
is significant variation between the numbers or not. What kind of
statistical test would be appropriate? Thanks.

\_ more info please. what exactly do you want to know about the
numbers?
\_ Does this have something to do with voter fraud?
\_ no, it doesn't. -op
\_ define variation. If you mean difference, a simple t-test would
work. -nivra
\_ What kinds of numbers are these? Are they samples from some
distribution? Even if not, is it meaningful to assume a
distribution (e.g. gaussian)? This kind of question is hard to
answer statistically for a set of data if you don't have an idea
what process produced the data. -- ilyas |
