BioStat: Biological Data Analysis and Publication Figures

Sep 2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

BioStat is a standalone, browser-only application for common biological-data analyses and publication-oriented figures. It provides descriptive statistics, parametric and rank-based group comparisons, balanced factorial ANOVA, regression and correlation, contingency-table tests, survival analysis, agreement analysis, multiple-testing adjustments, and SVG/PNG figure export. This release includes an accuracy report and reproducible validation evidence. It passed 768 frozen numerical and edge checks, including 755 numerical comparisons across 343 reference cases, plus browser-level workflow and export checks. The software runs locally without a backend; datasets entered into the application remain in the browser. Scope: BioStat does not implement mixed-effects models, repeated-measures ANOVA, unbalanced factorial ANOVA, or multi-group log-rank inference. Users should verify the suitability of the selected model for their experimental design and independently reproduce key manuscript results in established statistical software. Development note: BioStat was developed by PraDarsh Edtech, India with AI assistance (Anthropic Claude and OpenAI ChatGPT). Numerical outputs were verified against independent reference software (SciPy) as documented in the included accuracy report. Rights: Proprietary software. Copyright (c) 2026 PraDarsh Edtech, India.
