Statistical Confidence
A number of checks are put in place to make sure that statistically significant results can be provided to the user. Some of the techniques used are:
* All tests are run, at minimum, 5 times. If a significant level of error cannot be reached then more runs are completed (up to 10).
* All results are fit on to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-distribution T-DistrubtionDistribution], set to a 95% confidence interval (values from [http://www.medcalc.be/manual/t-distribution.php this table]). 95% confident +/- error intervals are provided with all results.
* All comparisons between results take into account the error intervals - offering a tie for result sets that are statistically tied within the associated error ranges.
