There are several data files, all ending in .csv, which can be opened in any text editor or spreadsheet software.  These files are described in the book "Breaking The Law of Averages."

The file Rcode.R contains several functions which implement the OBSERVABLE STATISTICS method described in that book.  Do not modify these functions unless you know what you are doing. This can be opened in any text editor.

The file worked.example.R contains a script to implement the Appendicitis example.  

They key part of modern statistics is to quantify uncertain in OBSERVABLE data and not in making statements about UNOBSERVABLE PARAMETERS.  This requires more work from users in creating scenarios of interest to them.  This too is explained in the book.

Comments and criticisms are welcome.
