![Page 23: P366: Lecture #1 Use of Excel for analysis Lei Chen, MD Jan 6, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e875503460f94b8b426/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example-Ttest
• Comparing two group means
• Sorting data first according to the intervention variable
![Page 24: P366: Lecture #1 Use of Excel for analysis Lei Chen, MD Jan 6, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e875503460f94b8b426/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

• Prepare independent and dependent variables, including dummy variables
• Use Excel formula
• Specify the data as independent and dependent variables
• It is easy, isn’t it?
