Pop-Inference: An educational application to evaluate statistical differences among populations.

ABSTRACT: Pop-Inference is an educational tool designed to help teaching of hypothesis testing using populations. The application allows for the statistical comparison of demographic parameters among populations. Input demographic data are projection matrices or raw demographic data. Randomization tests are used to compare populations. The tests evaluate the hypothesis that demographic parameters differ among groups of individuals more that should be expected from random allocation of individuals to populations. Confidence intervals for demographic parameters are obtained using the bootstrap. Tests may be global or pairwise. In addition to tests on differences, one-way life table response experiments (LTRE) are available for random and fixed factors. Planned (a priori) comparisons are possible. Powe
