How to determine if data are significantly different from each other

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi I have the following data -0.1363 0.0176 -0.0719 -0.0827 0.0169 0.0047 -0.0623 -0.0944 -0.0390
and I want to test if the values are significantly different from each other. I'm thinking of using the F-test, but is there a function to do this for me? Thanks

Assuming the order doesn't matter, you could use a statistical Z-score.

so, for example, to test if the 1st value is significantly different, I would do the following:
(Call that whole dataset x)
(-0.1363-mean(x))/stdev(x)
and then repeat for all the different values and compare to the normal cutoffs?
