HIER-GRP: A Computer Program for the Hierarchical Grouping of Regression Equations.

摘要

This report describes the technical details required for using the HIER-GRP computer program as it is currently operational on the Univac 1108. HIER-GRP (or one of the earlier versions of the program) has been used in the past, especially in conjunction with 'policy-capturing applications,' and many of those applications are referenced herein. The report contains a discussion of the basic algorithm, an outline of the essential steps, specifications of the computer system requirements, descriptions of necessary control cards, and explanations of the program output. Also, appendices are included that contain the mathematical formulas used, some mathematical background helpful for understanding the algorithm, sample output, and a complete source card listing.
