- 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.
