Long, Thomas E. – 1967
In this institute, the participants were trained to use peripheral computer related equipment. They were taught Fortran programming skills so they might write and redimension statistical formulary programs, and they were trained to assemble data so they might access computers via both card and punched-tape input. The objectives of the Institute…

Carolan, Kevin – 1974
APL (A Programing Language), a computer language used thus far largely for mathematical and scientific applications, can be used to tabulate a survey. Since this computer application can be appreciated by social scientists as well as mathematicians, it serves as an invaluable pedagogical tool for presenting APL to nonscientific users. An…

Lewis, George Hallam – 1970
STGPROC is a computer program designed to meet a need in the social sciences for a computing system that (1) can handle character strings of open-ended data, (2) does not require predefinition of the data, and (3) can handle variable numbers of responses per respondent. The purpose of this monograph is to allow the researcher to judge the utility…

Schank, Roger C. – 1968
Since natural language may be assumed to have an underlying conceptual structure, it is desirable to have the machine structure its own experience, both linguistic and nonlinguistic, in a manner concomitant with the human method for doing so. This paper presents some attempts at organizing the machine's information conceptually. The different…

Wisler, Carl E. – 1967
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…

Hickman, Linda J. – 1986
Technological advances in microcomputer hardware and software, including size of memory and increasingly more sophisticated statistical application packages, create a new era in educational research. The alternative to costly main-frame computer data processing and statistical analysis is explored in this paper. In the first section, typical…

Brandhorst, W. T. – 1969
An analysis of existing computerized data banks in science and technology reveals that nearly half of them involve the storage and retrieval of bibliographic data. Activity in this area has been independent and autonomous. This situation is now giving way to a new environment which involves cooperation, standards, and a rigorous rational analysis…

Hansen, Duncan N.; Dick, Walter – 1969
Misunderstandings on the part of the researcher as to the computer's capability, coupled with the inability of the computer system to function efficiently, has often handicapped the research activities in computer assisted instruction (CAI). A new data system is being developed to resolve these problems. A Delete/Sort program has been designed to…

Earl, Lorna L. – 1982
This series of manuals describing and illustrating the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was planned as a self-teaching instrument, beginning with the basics and progressing to an advanced level. Information on what the searcher must know to define the data and write a program for preliminary analysis is contained in manual 1,…
