The following codes are recommended for performing statistical analysis in conjunction with the CMH-17 procedures. These procedures are described in detail in Vol. 1, Chapter 8 of the handbook.

STAT17 DOS Program

STAT17 contains the basic procedures in the statistical analysis flowchart in CMH-17, Volume 1, Figure 8.3.1. The current version, STAT17F, contains a revised computation for the F-test/Critical value and is Y2K compliant. The download file is in WINZIP format, and contains the user's guide, example files, and the executable. The executable runs in DOS.
Contact the Secretariat for the STAT17 DOS download.

STAT17 Excel Spreadsheet file

The STAT17 methods included in the Composite Materials Handbook are available in the form of a Microsoft Excel file. This Excel code is approved for use in CMH-17.
Contact the Secretariat for the STAT17 Excel download.

NIST Statistical Programs

The following programs were created and are maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). They are recommended by the Handbook's Statistics Working Group for more advanced analysis, and graphical evaluation of data.

RECIPE

RECIPE (REGression Confidence Intervals for PErcentiles) is a FORTRAN program for determining one-sided tolerance limits (in particular, A- and B-basis material property values) for regression models in the presence of between-batch variability.

DATAPLOT

Dataplot is a free, public-domain, multi-platform (Unix, Linux, PC-DOS, Windows NT, etc.) software system for scientific visualization, statistical analysis, and non-linear modeling. The target Dataplot user is the researcher and analyst engaged in the characterization, modeling, visualization, analysis, monitoring, and optimization of scientific and engineering processes. The original version was released by James J. Filliben in 1978 with continual enhancements to present. Note that all of functionality of RECIPE is available in DATAPLOT.
