The hard part here is never the computation — it is the choice.

If you do not know which test applies, start with the statistical test chooser: walk through data type, number of groups and pairing, and it tells you where you land and why.

Three mistakes dominate, each with a tool that addresses it:

  1. Not correcting for multiple comparisons. Run 20 tests and one comes back p < 0.05 by luck alone. FDR / Benjamini-Hochberg handles this; in omics data it is not optional.
  2. Using a t-test on data that is not normal. With small samples the normality test itself has little power, which is exactly when non-parametric tests are the safer choice.
  3. Reading correlation as effect. Correlation coefficients quantify co-variation — Pearson captures linear, Spearman monotone — and R² = 0.9 implies nothing about importance. High R² is especially cheap when n is small.

One thing belongs before the experiment: sample size estimation. Power computed after the fact tells you nothing; a sample size fixed in advance does.

The omics-facing tools are listed separately: log₂FC, enrichment testing, RNA-seq normalisation and ΔΔCt. The principles above still apply — only the context changes.

Statistics

Multiple Testing Correction Calculator: BH (FDR), BY, and Bonferroni

Paste a column of p-values and get BH q-values, BY, and Bonferroni corrections side by side in one step.

qPCR 2^−ΔΔCt Relative Quantification Online Calculator

Paste your Ct table and get ΔCt, ΔΔCt, fold-change, and within-group dispersion calculated automatically.

Gene List Intersection, Union & Difference — Online Venn Set Calculator

Paste 2–3 gene/ID lists and instantly get intersections, unions, and unique elements, with deduplication and case normalization.

log2FC ↔ Fold Change Converter

Convert between log2FC and fold change, with percent regulation and a common threshold reference table.

Standard Curve Linear Regression and Back-Calculation of Unknown Samples (BCA / Bradford / ELISA)

Paste standard concentrations and absorbance readings to obtain slope, intercept, and R², then back-calculate unknown sample concentrations.

Sequencing Depth & Data Volume Calculator (Lander-Waterman)

Convert between sequencing depth, read count, data volume, and genome size — in either direction.

Sample Size Estimation for Two-Group Comparison (t-test / Proportion Test)

Estimate the required sample size per group from effect size, significance level, and statistical power.

Community Diversity Index Calculator (Shannon / Simpson / Chao1)

Paste a species abundance table and compute Shannon, Simpson, evenness, and Chao1 richness estimates.

Enrichment Significance Test Calculator — Hypergeometric Distribution / Fisher's Exact Test

Enter background gene count, pathway gene count, list size, and overlap to compute p-value, fold enrichment, and expected overlap.

qPCR Amplification Efficiency Calculator — Standard Curve Slope to E, Pfaffl Relative Quantification

Fit a standard curve from serial dilutions to calculate amplification efficiency E and R²; apply the Pfaffl method for efficiency-corrected relative quantification.

RNA-seq Expression Normalization Calculator: RPKM / FPKM / TPM Converter

Paste gene read counts and lengths to compute RPKM / FPKM and TPM at once — and see directly that TPM sums to 1,000,000 while RPKM does not.

Online t-Test Calculator: Independent Samples / Paired Samples / One-Sample (with Welch Correction)

Paste two data sets to get the t-statistic, degrees of freedom, two-tailed p-value, mean-difference confidence interval, and Cohen's d — Welch correction on by default.

One-Way ANOVA Calculator Online (Post-Hoc Tests & Multiple Comparison Correction)

Compare means across three or more groups: F statistic, ANOVA table, p-value, η², and optional pairwise post-hoc tests with Bonferroni or BH correction.

Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test Calculator

Two-group comparison for skewed or ordinal data: computes U/W statistics, exact or approximate p-values, effect size, and the minimum achievable p for your sample size.

Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test Calculator (with OR / RR)

Contingency table independence tests — Pearson chi-square, Yates' correction, and Fisher's exact p-value; OR and RR with confidence intervals for 2×2 tables.

Correlation Coefficient Calculator Online: Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall

Compute all three correlation coefficients with p-values in one step, plus Pearson's 95% CI and r², with automatic warnings for outliers or non-linearity.

How to Choose a Statistical Test: By Data Type, Number of Groups, and Paired vs. Independent Design

Answer three questions to identify the right test: comparing values or proportions, how many groups, paired or independent. Each row links to the corresponding tool.

Michaelis-Menten Km and Vmax Calculator (Nonlinear Fit + Three Linearization Methods)

Nonlinear fit for Km and Vmax with Lineweaver-Burk, Hanes-Woolf, and Eadie-Hofstee linearizations shown in parallel—their spread directly reports data quality.

IC50 / EC50 Four-Parameter Logistic Fit Calculator (with Data Reliability Checks)

Fit IC50/EC50 and Hill slope from concentration–response data using 4PL; reports plateau coverage and how much fixing the slope to 1 shifts the result.

No ads, no tracking, no sign-up — and every formula here is checked against a known answer. Keeping it that way takes ongoing work. If it saved you time, buy me a coffee.
