A computer program written in FORTRAN IV is presented which will unambiguously partition the explained variance of a dependent variable into these parts due uniquely to each independent variable and to all possible combinations of independent variables through commonality analysis. Tests of the significance of the unique contribution due to each independent variable are also output. Documentation is provided.
