Credits

This open-source project is hosted on GitHub. For many years, the hosting provider was Sourceforge.net, where the source code (and downloads) for legacy versions can still be found.

The installer was built with InnoSetup by Jordan Russell using my own VstoAddinInstaller scripts.

Algorithms

The API error message procedure (used for the Auto Backup function) was written by Chip Pearson (www.cpearson.com) and is in the public domain.

Some programming concepts were inspired by John Walkenbach’s “Power Programming for Excel® 2003 VBA”, and “Professional Excel Development” by Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey, and John Green.

Some routines are taken from the book “Professional Excel Development” by Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey, and John Green, with kind permission.

The KLD algorithm for group allocation is a modification of a published algorithm that I developed further. The original algorithm was published by Endo et al. in Contemporary Clinical Trials 27 (2006) 420-431, doi:10.1016/j.cct.2006.05.002.

The algorithm to compute a p value from a q statistic (the studentized range) was ported from Fortran to C++ by Daniel Kraus. The original algorithm has been published as algorithm no. 190 by the Royal Statistical Society.
