Nov 2, 2016 at 9:40 comment added kjetil b halvorsen Well, yes, we might make some plots or calculate some numbers, see some difference, bt to see if that difference is IMPORTANT or not, we MUST know a context! The importance derives from that context, not from the numbers.
Nov 2, 2016 at 9:38 comment added kjetil b halvorsen Good. New information should be added as an edit to the original post, please do so (there is an "edit" tab below the post, use that. And also, the numbers in the output from the program, what do these represent? counts? money? ... ? state that too!
Nov 2, 2016 at 9:37 comment added cointreau @kjetilbhalvorsen to answer my question, I thought I should see the form of distributions in two sets. Is it still not enough...??
Nov 2, 2016 at 9:36 comment added cointreau @kjetilbhalvorsen Ahh.. I get it. Because I don't know anything about statistics... I asked a question vaguely. Above data is the outputs of the program A and B. Because the program is probabilistic, it always results in different output. I assume that I do not know whether program A and B is same, but I want to guess program A is same one as B, from the results. If the results are too different, I conclude program A is different from program B. Or, the results are quite similar(though it has different value) I conclude program A is same as B.
Nov 2, 2016 at 9:21 comment added kjetil b halvorsen We cannot answer questions about "comparing data", without context, because statistics is about answering applied questions, real-life questions, so we must know about the real context that produced your data, and what question, real questions, you want to use the data to answer. Try to add that to your question, and it might get some good answers!
