Evaluate the analytical utility and accessibility of PEPI Version 4.0 for epidemiologists, educators, and students requiring rapid keyboard data entry and statistical computation.
Assessed software functionality for keyboard data entry and routine analytical procedures compared with Epi Info version 6, Epi Info 2000, and STATA version 7.
Evaluated specific epidemiologic tasks including sample size calculation, Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio computation, kappa values, and stratified analyses.
Demonstrated that contemporary statistical software suites often lack streamlined interfaces for quick manual data entry and simple stratified analyses.
Identified PEPI Version 4.0 as an effective tool addressing this niche for study design, grant proposal writing, teaching, and coursework.
