Worksheet Functions

Real Statistics Functions: The data analysis tool calls the following two array functions that are provided in the Real Statistics Resource Pack. In the following R1 is the input data range (without headings). For Example 1, this is the range B4:E6 shown in Figure 3.

CMHTest(R1, lab, yates, alpha): returns a column range with the values M, p-value, r, lower and upper for the CMH test, where alpha is the significance level (default .05) and yates = TRUE (default) if the continuity correction is used; if lab = TRUE an extra column is appended with labels (default = FALSE).

WoolfTest(R1, lab): returns a column range with the values W, df, p-value for the Woolf’s heterogeneity test; lab is as for CMHTest.

For example, the output from =CMHTest(B4:E6,TRUE) is shown in range K5:L9 of Figure 2 and the output from =WoolfTest(B4:E6,TRUE) is shown in range N5:O7.
