Abstract

SURVEY MASTER is a menu-driven program that allows total beginners to type in question wordings and coded raw data (automatically vetted for impossible codes) and then view or print percentaged marginals, means, standard deviations, bivariate cross-tabs, bar charts, pie charts, and bivariate cross-tabs. Users avoid the complexity of professional data entry programs or statistical packages at the price of several inflexibilities.
