Claim One:
1. A significance evaluation program which statistically evaluates significance of difference in data obtained from two specimens in terms of a plurality of evaluation items, and makes a computer function as a significance evaluation unit which includes: a statistical equation storage unit which stores a plurality of statistical methods used for comparison tests as statistical equation database such that the statistical methods are related to algorithms; a significance probability calculation unit which reads out the algorithm from the statistical equation database based on an input signal indicating one statistical method selected and calculates significance probability of the data obtained when it is assumed that there is no significance difference between the two specimens for each of the evaluation items based on the algorithm; a significance determination unit which determines a magnitude relationship between the significance probability and a significance level which is previously set or input and gives significance information indicating the magnitude relationship between the significance probability and the significance level to each of the evaluation items; and an evaluation result output unit which makes a display device output a matrix table in which the same number of cells as that of the evaluation items are provided such that each cell is corresponded to each of the evaluation items, cells of n columns×1 row or 1 columns×n row are arranged when the number of the evaluation items is n, and a significance evaluation indication based on the significance information given to each of the evaluation items is indicated in each of the cells.
