Statistical analysis quite often involves questions whether differences between samples are meaningful. Lack of meaningful differences indicates that the samples do not differ with respect to studied feature. The bigger the number of samples the bigger are troubles we find ourselves in, because it is much more difficult then to delimit sets of non-differing samples.
Let's assume we have three samples P1, P2, P3. We also know that P1 differs
meaningfully from P2, but others do not differ. Thus we have two sets of
samples not different meaningfully. First one contains P1 and P3 (because
they it is not stated that they differ meaningfully) and respectively the
second one contains P2 and P3 (similar as earlier).
As you can see these sets are not separate. It is going to be handy to denote the belonging to the set with a character associated with it. In our case we have: P1:a P2:b P3:ab.
Conclusions:
Your task is to write a program which delimits sets without meaningful differences.
Assumptions:
Number of samples in one test does not exceed 10. The most numerous set
acquires the character ``a", the second in the line ``b" etc. In case of sets
having the same number of elements the first one goes the one which contains
a sample of lower number.
