1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions that are executable by a computer processor, the instructions when executed embodying a method for determining the significant variables in a set of variables that comprises the steps of: receiving (i) an input dataset comprising one or more dependent variable sets for insertion into a data grid and (ii) a p-value cut-off used when analyzing said input dataset, wherein each of said one or more dependent variable sets is comprised of a dependent variable and one or more independent variables, calculating one or more p-values for each of said one or more dependent variable sets; associating one or more of said one or more p-values to each of said one or more independent variables in each of said one or more dependent variable sets; storing said one or more p-values in memory; and eliminating one or more of said one or more independent variables from each of said one or more dependent variable sets as insignificant when said one or more independent variables have a p-value greater than said threshold value.
