Summary List

 

The Summary List is a list of all wells that showed a statistically significant level of contamination. The summary list is linked to reports in the workbook. When a statistical report is added to the workbook, a summary entry is added for each well tested with the statistical method. If the report is deleted, the summary list items for the report are deleted from the summary list.

The Workbook window shows the Summary list.

 

The following information is displayed for each entry in the summary list:

 

  • Parameter Name
  • Statistical Method
  • Well ID
  • SSI -- Indicates if a statistically significant increase occurred
  • Confidence Level (if applicable)
  • Transformation
  • Non-Detect Option
  • Comment (usually indicates MCL comparison or intra-well comparison)

 

 

The Summary List has the following properties:

 

  1. The Summary List is directly linked to the Workbook list. Items are added to the summary list only by adding reports to the Workbook.
  2. Items can not be deleted specifically from the Summary List. When you delete a Workbook report, the associated summary list items will be deleted.
  3. The Summary List can not be printed. You can export the summary list to a tab-delimited text file for editing in Excel. Select Write Summary File from the Workbook menu.
  4. The Summary List is saved with your data in the "csd" file.
  5. Only statistical methods that detect a statistically significant increase create summary list items. Statistical methods such as normality tests do not create summary list items.
