The program can perform any one of those nonparametric statistical methods that is mentioned in Sidney Siegel's classical work on the subject. The user is free to select among the methods and also among the samples that are read by the program. When a particular set of samples has been treated in the prescribed way, a new set may follow together…

A computer program is described which performs the Bowker test of symmetry in a square contingency table, the Light-Margolin and Pearson tests for homogeneity in nonorder contingency tables, the Kruskal-Wallis test for ordered dependent variables, and the Kandall and Maxwell tests for monotonic trends in ranks.

Six different algorithms to generate widely different non-normal distributions are reviewed. These algorithms are compared in terms of speed, simplicity, and generality of the technique. The advantages and disadvantages of using these algorithms are briefly discussed. (Author)

A computer program for computing coefficients for nominal scales, such as the contingency coefficient, Cramer's V, and others is described. (Author/JKS)

A new computer subroutine has been developed for calculating the tetrachoric correlation coefficient. Recent advances in computing inverse normal and bivariate normal distributions have been utilized. The procedure is useful for item analysis. (Author/JKS)

Relative to given scale properties of each of two paired variables, a program for identification and computation of the following indices of relationship is provided: phi, Spearman rank order, Kendall's Tau, Pearson's product moment, biserial, and point biserial. (Author/RC)

A computer program for two-group nonparametric discriminant analysis is presented. Based on Bayes' Theorem for probability revision, the statistical rationale for this program uses the calculation of maximum likelihood estimates of group membership. The program compares the Bayesian procedure to the standard Linear Discriminant Function.…

Formulas and a FORTRAN program for computing Kendall's Tau as well as a generalized Spearman rho coefficient from ordered contingency tables are described. (Author)

This note described a FORTRAN IV, CDC, computer program for the canonical analysis of a two-way contingency table. (Author)

A program for calculating Kendall's tau-a, tau-b, partial tau, coefficient of concordance, coefficient of consistence, and coefficient of agreement is presented. In addition, the program provides tests of significance for each of the coefficients except partial tau. (DG)

This program calculates the chi-square statistic for testing the assumptions of equality and symmetry of covariance matrices in a repeated measures design. (Author)

Four nonparametric alternatives to the parametric Bartlett test are presented for handling the K-sample equality of variance problem. The two sample Siegel-Tukey Test, Mood Coefficient of Alienation Test, and Klotz Test are extended to the multisample situation by the methods of Puri. A fourth alternative involving a Q-statistic procedure…
