Getting started
How to use DeepStats
A six-step walkthrough of running your first analysis. No prior experience with statistics software required — the only thing you need is a dataset.
- 1
Prepare your data
Arrange your dataset so each row is one observation and each column is one variable. Save it as CSV or XLSX. Missing cells can stay empty — DeepStats will flag them during validation. If you don't have a file yet, you can paste rows directly in the next step.
- 2
Upload or paste into the grid
Open the analyzer and either drag your file into the upload area or paste cells into the built-in spreadsheet. Your data stays in the grid throughout the session so you can edit values or add columns before running an analysis.
- 3
Label each column
Mark every column as metric (continuous numeric), nominal (unordered categories) or ordinal (ranked categories). This controls which tests are available — a t-test, for example, only shows up when you have a metric and a nominal variable to compare.
- 4
Pick an analysis
Browse the catalog by category or search by name. Assign variables to the roles the test requires (group, outcome, covariates, etc.). If assumptions are likely to be violated — non-normality, unequal variances, small samples — DeepStats will flag it before you run.
- 5
Review the results
Each analysis returns a results table with the statistics you need to report, a chart appropriate to the method, and a plain-English interpretation explaining what the numbers mean. Reference values, degrees of freedom and effect sizes are all included where applicable.
- 6
Export or share
Download the results table as CSV, save the chart as an image, or copy the interpretation into your report. With a free account you can save the full analysis to your history and revisit it later.
