Hello Dr. Charles!
Hope you will be fine and doing well. I want to thank you for creating such a nice and amazing resource pack software! I used it while learning the basics and advanced statistical analysis techniques. You helped me a lot in clarifying several concepts. Keep it up, please!
Again, Thank you so much!
Hello Faisal,
Thank you for your kind remarks and your support.
Charles
Can you give us a citation in the form of BibTeX or RIS so we can import it exactly into our citation management software?
Thank you again for this great tool!
Hi Bill,
I wasn’t able to find a simple-to-use online program to convert the existing citation to BibTeX or RIS format. Are you able to do this?
Charles
What is the licensing for this website? I’d like to use one of the critical value tables, but don’t want copyright infringement.
MO,
If you send me an email specifying the table you want to use and how you want to use it, I will likely grant you permission to use the table.

Hi Charles!
We have been using your website for our thesis. We need the place and country for our citation. We tried to find it here on the webpage but could not.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,

I am based in Italy. The website is hosted in the US.

Where are the articles describing the reliability or accuracy of this Real Statistics resource pack?
David,
I don’t have any such references. Do you have a request regarding a specific test?
Charles
Thanks for all your help. Sorry if my last message was too confrontational.
Also, I am writing a paper that uses this software for data analysis. I am using APA 7th edition for formatting. I followed your suggestion about the in-text citation about your software. Would the following citation be accurate (except for the title not being in italics)…..?
Zaiontz, C. (2020). Real Statistics Resource Pack software (Release 7.6) [Computer software]. https://www.real-statistics.com/
Hello David,
First, regarding your previous comment, I have tried to test the software with known examples to ensure its accuracy. Occasionally, I do make a mistake or some error slips in inadvertently in a later release. Fortunately, the user community has been very diligent about finding errors, even very small errors, and bringing them to my (and, often, everyone else’s) attention. I try to make corrections as soon as I can. None of this is fool-proof, but so far I think I am doing a pretty good job (although I am open to ways to make improvements).
The citation looks good to me, but, of course, the format of the citation also depends on the criteria used by the journal or other publishing source.
Charles
I can’t believe how incredibly useful this is, you literally saved my dissertation. Just banged out some ANOVAs and MANOVAs for free, no problem! Can’t thank you enough for creating this, you are doing such a service.
Hello Erica,
Glad I could help.
