Copies of the program in FORTRAN IV with descriptive comments and sample data as run on the CDC 6400 are available on request from George H. Golden, Jr., Computer Center, State University College, Fredonia, New York 14063. (Authors)

Data analysis and supporting computer software systems are studied. The idea of data analysis as an experimental science involving data-gathering and theory building is developed. Language's role as a determinant of meaningful theory and the informativeness of a language and data base pair are studied, along with the static and dynamic aspects of…

This second of two parts (part one presented in the November-December issue) continues a discussion of a BASIC program on computer arrays. Individual lines for organizing and retrieving data from the computer's memory are discussed. (JN)

Describes the structure, availability, and use of a computer program designed for a wide variety of data of curvefitting and equation-solving problems, including both linear and non-linear problems. (PR)

This user's manual is a guide to the computer programs developed for the analysis of cost and volume data collected in a survey of technical processing and interlibrary loan supporting the development and implementation of a Western Interstate Bibliographic Network. Programs and analysis, developed in conjunction with ten data collection…

A package of social science programs--Sociology Library (SOLIB)--for small computers provides users with a partial solution to the problems stemming from the heterogeneity of social science applications programs. SOLIB offers a uniform approach to data handling and program documentation; all its programs are written in standard FORTRAN for the IBM…

Article concentrates on historians who are becoming proficient in utilizing computer technology for research purposes. (RK)

Prepared for cooperative education placement and career service professionals, this paper considers the applications of microcomputers in the development of a comprehensive management information system (MIS) for cooperative education programs. After noting the complicated information needs of cooperative education and common weaknesses of current…

Two factor analysis algorithms, previously described by P. Horst, have been programed for use on the General Electric Time-Sharing Computer System. The first of these, Principal Components Analysis (PCA), uses the Basic Structure Successive Factor Method With Residual Matrices algorithm to obtain the principal component vectors of a correlation…

This study was designed to determine the relative impact of dichotomized task performance data compared to percent time-spent estimates for those members performing each task on the group job descriptions determined through application of the Comprehensive set of Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP). Using groups identified by a routine…

The manual, one in a series to assist in planning procedures for local and State vocational agencies, contains two basic sets of information needed to use the Local Education Agency Model. Section 1 contains data element definitions, data collection forms and instructions, and editing and keypunching instructions. Section 2 consists of annotated…

The Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP) are designed for analyzing and retrieving occupational survey information collected by means of job inventories. Two programs that are parts of the CODAP system are described: the Ordering of Hierarchically Grouped Case Data (KPATH) program which reorders case data permitting…
