If Microsoft did not create such insecure software, anti-virus companies like MalwareBytes would not be in business.

It's an industry many of us in my circle of cybersecurity experts refer to as a "self-licking ice-cream cone" because all these companies just feed off the insecurity of the Window's (for the most part) operating system.

It's really a social and economic tragedy when you stop to think about it.

I just finished a GREAT book called "Lost in Math - How Beauty Leads Physics Astray" by Sabine Hossenfelder. In her transformational book, she describes the various biases, including cognitive bias" to which "following the herd" is a subset.

Computer security is so full of cognitive bias that if you really understood the industry, your stomach would turn, realizing how much corporate greed is the root cause of most of the IT insecurity we face in society.

There is yet no "antivirus software" for human greed and ignorance.

IMNSHO, everyone should read (or listen to), Sabine Hossenfelder's book, "Lost in Math".

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows you to use the tamu-anova library from perl programs.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

   Exportable constants
	 anova_fixed
	 anova_mixed
	 anova_random

   Exportable functions
	 anova
	 anova_twoway
	 printanova
	 printanova_twoway

USE

	 $hash=Math::TamuAnova::anova(DATA[], FACTOR[], J);

       DATA is an array of double, FACTOR an array of integer.

       Factors must be within 1..J

       DATA and FACTOR must have the same size.

	 $hash2=Math::TamuAnova::anova_twoway(DATA[], FACTORA[], FACTORB[], JA, JB, mode);

       DATA is an array of double, FACTOR(A|B) arrays of integer.

       Factors A must be within 1..JA, and Factors B within 1..JB

       DATA, FACTORA and FACTORB must have the same size.

EXAMPLES

	 $res=Math::TamuAnova::anova( [88.60,73.20,91.40,68.00,75.20,63.00,53.90,
