Normix
- Software for statistical analysis of biomedical data, including common summary statistics and hypothesis tests.
- Generates graphs (scatterplots, histograms, line graphs) to visualize data and reveal patterns.
- Applied to analyses such as clinical trial outcome comparisons and population prevalence studies.
Definition
Section titled “Definition”NORMIX is a computer program used for statistical analysis in the field of biomedical research. It is a software package that provides a range of tools for analyzing data from clinical trials and other types of biomedical studies.
Explanation
Section titled “Explanation”NORMIX performs statistical tests and calculations on data sets (for example, mean, median, and standard deviation) and supports hypothesis testing such as t-tests, ANOVA tests, and chi-square tests. It also produces graphical representations—scatterplots, histograms, and line graphs—to help present results clearly and to identify patterns and trends in the data. These capabilities support tasks like comparing treatment groups in clinical trials and estimating prevalence or subgroup differences in population-based studies.
Examples
Section titled “Examples”Clinical trial analysis
Section titled “Clinical trial analysis”A group of researchers studying a new drug enroll patients in a clinical trial where half receive the new drug and the other half receive a placebo. The researchers collect data on outcomes such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and weight. Using NORMIX, they can perform t-tests to compare group means or ANOVA to test for significant differences, and create graphs (e.g., scatterplots, histograms) to visualize the results.
Population-based study analysis
Section titled “Population-based study analysis”Researchers studying the prevalence of a medical condition collect health-status data from a large group of people. Using NORMIX, they can analyze prevalence, use chi-square tests to examine differences between subgroups, and generate graphs and charts to visualize trends and patterns.
Use cases

- Calculation of summary statistics (mean, median, standard deviation)
- Performing hypothesis tests (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square)
