General Statistical Package

This program covers all the standard problems of mathematical statistics, under realistic assumptions, based on Tsakok's publications in Metron 36, as explained in the book below. Its functions include graphics and a data base. It offers a clear "yes" or "no" reply to any hypothesis being tested and at exact probabilities. It is available for MS-DOS, and costs ?600, incl. p & p.

Statistics and the Unified Field by A. D. Tsakok

The book develops the author's publications in Metron 36, which solve the Behrens-Fisher problem, and show how to construct optimal statistical tests. It covers all the standard problems of statistics. The book finally shows that mathematical statistics achieves a unified theory of physics. It proposes that electromagnetism contributes to gravity; this has been confirmed by NASA in their statement that electromagnetism can mimic gravity. The book costs L35, incl. p & p. (ISBN 094672802x)

"I have read your papers 'On the nature of electromagnetic radiation,' 'An explanation of some atomic phenomena using...,' and 'A derivation of Newton's Law of Gravitation...' with great interest and attention."
