Two computer programs (one batch, one interactive) are designed to provide statistics for a weighted linear combination of several component variables. Both programs provide mean, variance, standard deviation, and a validity coefficient. (Author/JKS)

A method of nonmetric multidimensional scaling is described which minimizes pairwise departures from monotonicity. (Author)

Describes VisiCalc, a programmed package for use with the Apple II microcomputer and discusses the use of this program for two library tasks--statistical analysis and budgeting. System features are described in the context of these applications and six tables illustrating system output are appended. Additional resources are listed. (RAA)

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 statistical methods presented in this workbook focus on the display of central tendency, statistical tests, and correlation. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 consist of worksheets, each of which provides step-by-step instructions for calculating and interpreting a particular statistical method. The introduction to each worksheet explains how and when to…

DSYSTM is an interactive computer program designed to perform a linear-graph analysis of contingency table data. The program is especially suitable for the analysis of change models. (Author/JKS)

This report discusses the capabilities of a computer program called the Detroit Metropolitan Area Data System (DMADS) which was developed to make it possible to manipulate and analyze data from the U.S. census. At the present time the DMADS can be used to generate statistical data and maps of the seven county Detroit area. DMADS contains 2500…

Describes and illustrates Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) procedures appropriate for book collection data analysis. Several different procedures for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis are discussed, and applications of procedures for book collection studies are presented. Included are 24 tables illustrating output…

One in a series of nine articles in a section entitled, "Electronic Computer Program and Accounting Machine Procedures.

ORDMET is applicable to structures obtained from additive conjoint measurement designs, unfolding theory, general Fechnerian scaling, types of multidimensional scaling, and ordinal multiple regression. A description is obtained of the space containing all possible numerical representations which can satisfy the structure, size, and shape of which…

This handbook lists step-by-step the procedures for making Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) runs on the interactive computer. The programs follow the Loma Linda University Revision 2.1 as adapted for the Data General Eclipse Systems. The four-step process includes instructions for developing the codebook, building the data and…

In this paper a rapid and reliable method is found for estimating the value of the Bivariate Normal Correlation Coefficient, p, given values of the joint probability and the normal deviates, h and k, or the related areas. (Editor)
