--------------------------------------------------- | GENSTAT version 3.3pd | | Richard M. DeTeresa | --------------------------------------------------- GENSTAT is a GENeral STATistics program which provides several basic statistical analyses on data that is entered by the user via keyboard or disk file. GENSTAT can manipulate up to 26 sets of data, and each set can contain up to 90 numbers. Note that GENSTAT is not intended to be a complete statistical analysis package. Rather, it is intended to provide the basic (and probably most-used) statistical procedures in a program that is easy to use. The program is menu-driven, and we have found that even people with little or no computer "literacy" can use it on a day to day basis without problems. Analyses provided by GENSTAT are: -Summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, and standard error). -Student's t-test (two-tailed; for comparing two sets of data for significant difference of the means). -Analysis of Variance (for differences among two or more sets of data). -Correlation analysis with linear regression. GENSTAT is a CP/M-80 program developed on a CompuPro 8-16 system running Concurrent CP/M 8-16 3.1D. Files supplied in the library are: GS.COM GS-TBLS.DAT GS-INST.COM GS.DOC Of these, the first two (GS.COM and GS-TBLS.DAT) are required to run the program. The file GS-INST.COM is a program that lets the user customize GENSTAT by specifying terminal codes for: erasing the screen, turning on hi-lighting (such as reverse video), and for resuming normal video. As supplied, the hi-lighting/normal video codes are nulls, and the screen erase code is simply a bunch of line feeds, so the program will work immediately with almost any terminal. GS-TBLS.DAT must be on the default disk drive when the install program is run. All data and results generated when the program is run are written to a disk file named GS.OUT. This is a standard ASCII text file which can be edited and/or printed using any editor or print utility you have. Please report any problems to: Richard M.
