Abstract

Summary: STATAIDS is a set of 4 templates for use with the LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet. Only one of these templates produces statistics of use to social scientists. It allows the user to perform bivariate correlation and regression analyses. Since it does not support more advanced forms of regression analysis, STATAIDS is of the greatest use to those learning and teaching the rudiments of regression analysis.
