MUltiple tests corrections and FOrmatted tables Software (MUFOS)
Nikolay Petrov, Vasil Atanasov, Trevor Thompson
MUFOS is free, easy-to-use and convenient software that allows users to apply a MUltiple tests correction to their data and get the results in a readily-understood, FOrmatted table.
Installation
Download
Windows users
Download the installation file and simply follow the instructions on the screen. After the short installation is completed, run the MUFOS.exe file to start MUFOS.
Mac users
Download the installation archive. Then use your favourite archive tool to unzip the archive. After this is done, you can run the MUFOS .app file to start MUFOS.
Note that you might have to change your system preferences for MUFOS to allow your computer to open software for unidentified developers. More information on how to change preferences to open apps from unidentified developers can be found online.
If nothing above works and MUFOS still does not start on macOS, we suggest you follow the Run instructions in the README file for developers.

Sample Input and Output Files
There are 5 core data input formats:
- Raw data - each variable is a separate column and each row is a new value for the variable (i.e. the typical rectangular dataset)
- Correlation table data - one column contains one variable’s name, a second column contains the other variable’s name and third and fourth columns which contain the correlation coefficients and associated p values, respectively. Each row represents an additional correlational test between variables
- Independent t-test statistics - one column for each dependent variable name, six columns that contain information about the mean, standard deviation and sample size for each group (3 statistics by 2 groups) and an optional column whether equality of variance is assumed (if this column is missing, equality of variance is assumed). Each row represents a new group comparison
- SPSS table - an excel (.xlsx) file, produced by exporting a specific table from the SPSS Output window (for step-by-step instructions on how to export an SPSS table, see the MUFOS Help Guide and Documentation)
- P values table - a column of p values, with other optional columns
For each input format, MUFOS generates formatted output files in both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
