Abstract

An unusually user-friendly statistical package (AIVOVA, breakdown, correlation, descriptive (univariate) statistics, histograms, nonparametrics, regression, scatterplot, bivariate cross-tabs, t-tests) for smallish data sets (e.g., 50 cases), typed in or fetched from a second diskette. The program is menu-driven, with a reasonable repertoire of transformation, deletion, and editing options.
