The STATS System: A Guide to the BISRA IBM 1130Computer Software for Statistical Calculations and Data Presentation.

摘要

The practical requirements of experimental data analysis in research and development have motivated the development of an extensive system of statistical programs available for use on a small computer. The STATS system has been written to operate the IBM 1130computer with an 8 K high speed memory at the Sheffield Corporate Laboratories. This manual describes 21main-line STATS system programs,including linear regression with optimal variable selection,data storage,editing and transformation,function plotting,principal component analysis and Fourier analysis. The manual describes the concepts and methods on which the system is based and detailed operating procedures together with a set of worked examples. (Author)
