the statpack was written to enable a large section of the western
michigan university community to do much of their own statistical
analysis on a terminal with only a simple working knowledge of the
decsystem-10.

description
statpack is an integrated, interactive package written for
terminal use. it allows the user to issue simple commands for data
analysis and will prompt him for necessary information. when
questions of a procedural nature arise, the user may ask for an
additional explanation by simply typing "help". the standard output
device is the terminal; however, a command is available to channel
output to the line printer, providing the user with the ability to
obtain multiple copies.
data input may be from terminal, disk, magnetic tape, or a
structured data bank. input consists of observations each containing
a value for every variable. variables are defined by a number or an
alphabetic name of not more than five characters. data must be
entered before issuing any of the statistical commands. once data has
been entered, the statistical commands will continue analyzing it
until the data is modified or replaced. options exist for evaluating
data with missing values. it is also possible to restrict the data to
only those observations where a certain set of circumstances occurs.

table of variable-observation combinations
------------------------------------------
the following is a table illustrating the various
variable-observation data combinations that can be processed by
statpack. letting the rows represent the number of observations and
the columns represent the number of variables, one can easily
determine if a specific variable-observation data combination is
possible by simply determining the point where the variable line
crosses the observation line. a "yes" indicates that the combination
is possible; a blank indicates that statpack cannot analyze the amount
of data necessary for that variable-observation combination.

when a call to another program is executed, the output file (if
one has been created) is queued to the lineprinter, and the
program specified is executed. to run a program type a "/" and
the program name in response to "which command?".
example:
which command? /bank
bank?
statpack v4 PAGE 7
command: acbnk
---------------
purpose: read data from a binary structured data bank. options are
available to subset data, bypass observations which do not meet
user specified criteria, and reject observations containing
missing values. provisions have been made for variable names,
and elimination of input formats.
limitations: data must be in the form of a well-structured data bank.
a maximum of 20 variables may be accessed at one time.
description: the "acbnk" command is used to read data from a stored
structured data bank located on the disk. when prompted, the
user types the name of the bank (no extension is necessary;
".bnk" will automatically be added), and the project-programmer
number enclosed in brackets (if other than his own), of the area
where the file containing the bank is located.
this is followed by the switches enclosed in parentheses,
which are representative of the options available. if no options
are desired, no options are necessary. options are:
"i" - independent samples
"m" - allow observations with missing data to be recovered
"q" - select observations to be used by specifying criteria
they must satisfy
"s" - specify starting position
next the user is asked to indicate which variables are to be
read. bank codes (the number of the variable as situated in the
bank) or variable names are typed in separated by commas. ranges
of variables may be entered by typing the extremes of the range
separated by a "-". if all variables are to be read use a "*".
it should be noted that the first bank code specified becomes
statpack's first variable, the second bank code the second
variable, etc. thus, bank code 1 may end up as variable number
4. although the variable name obs is illegal, the user may
indicate this variable both as a variable to be read and as a
qualifier. the observation number will be referenced. in stp if
obs is read as a variable it will be changed to obser.
if no options are specified, data will be considered an
observation at a time, starting with the first observation. if
any of the variables to be recovered contain missing data for
that observation, the entire observation is discarded. stp will
continue in this manner, always checking the next observation,
until either the entire bank has been considered or the data set
whose size was specified at the beginning has been filled.
statpack v4 PAGE 8
if an "s" switch is specified, the user will be asked to
supply the starting observation number for the bank. any value
between 1 and the number of the last observation in the bank may
be used. this does not, however, inhibit the "acbnk" command
from checking the entire bank for data.
an "m" switch allows the collecting of samples containing
missing data. the number "-9999e-20" will be used to denote
values which are missing.
the "q" switch specifies the qualifying option. by using
the "q" switch, a user may select a subset of the bank where all
the observations conform to a certain user-specified criteria.
for example, data may be chosen where each observation in the
data set is a male, less than 15 years old, with an i.q. of over
110.
if the "q" switch has been specified, the user is instructed
to type one qualifier after each "?". each qualifier consists of
three parts: a variable, a relationship, and a value to be
compared with the variable. hence, before each observation is
included in the data set it must satisfy all the qualifiers
specified. (for each observation to be accepted, the variable
selected in each qualifier must have the indicated relationship
to the value specified.) the relationships possible are:
sign code alpha code relationship
--------- ---------- ------------
"=" ",eq," or ".eq." equal
"<>" or "><" ",ne," or ".ne." not equal
">" ",gt," or ".gt." greater than
"<" ",lt," or ".lt." less than
">=" or "=>" ",ge," or ".ge." greater than or equal to
"<=" or "=<" ",le," or ".le." less than or equal to
the qualifier is constructed by typing the variable (either
number or name), the sign code or alpha code, and finally the
value. when the last qualifier has been entered, return and type
a ^z(control z), a <cr>, or "stop"(the stop typed here simply
terminates entry of the qualifiers, it is not the same as the
"stop" command). the maximum number of qualifiers possible is 20
minus the number of variables selected for entry to the data set.
it is not necessary to access a variable as data in order to use
it as a qualifier.
the "i" switch is used to assemble samples where variables
in the same observation may not be related. for example, it is
possible for variable 1 to be the i.q. of males and variable 2
the i.q. of females. each variable or set of variables is
collected by looking through the entire data set once. when the
last sample has been recovered, type a <cr> or a ^z(control z).
all variables are forced to have the same number of observations.

explanations:
(1) read from data bank nick under area [220,220] the variables:
case, 2, 3, weight, and sex.
(2) read from data bank nick under area [220,220] the variables:
case, 2, 3, weight, and sex beginning with observation 123 in the
bank.
(3) read from data bank nick the variables: case, sex, weight,
and variable numbers 7 through 11; but only use those
observations where the variable: sex is equal to 1, variable: 2
is not equal to 499.3, variable: 3 is greater than 1.2, and
weight is not equal to 189.
(4) read from data bank rslt the variables: iq, sex, and weight.
starting at the bank's observation number 121 and using only
those observations where the variable: iq is greater than 115,
the variable: sex is equal to 1 and the variable: weight is less
than or equal to 210.
(5) read independent samples from bank nick, breaking the
variable: weight into four variables each recovered as a separate
sample where:
each observation for sample 1 has the variable: sex equal to
1 and variable: age less than 24;
each observation for sample 2 has the variable: sex equal to
1 and variable: age greater than or equal to 24;
each observation for sample 3 has the variable: sex equal to
2 and variable: age less than 24; and
each observation for sample 4 has the variable: sex equal to
2 and variable: age greater than or equal to 24.
when finished there will be four separate variables each made up
of a particular portion of the population.

command: anoc1
---------------
purpose: perform one way analysis of covariance
limitations: the sum of the treatments and covariances must not
exceed 20.
reference: "statistical methods", snedecor and cochran, chapter 14.
description: the "anoc1" command calculates analysis of covariance
for one or more sets of data. the user will first be instructed
to enter the options desired, separated by commas. available
options are:
"break"--rather than supplying a variable for each cell of the
analysis of covariance, separate a single variable and one
or more covariate variables into treatments based on values
of a breakdown variable.
"discr"--use values of the breakdown variable to form ranges,
with each distinct value forming a separate range. (if this
option is not used the user will be asked to enter ranges
for the breakdown variable).
"auto"--same results as "discr", however "auto" is not entered
when the other options are entered, it is entered when asked
for ranges.
"range"--list ranges calculated. (only available if "discr" is
used).
if no options are specified, the user will be asked to enter
the variables to be used as treatments. each variable entered
becomes a separate treatment. variables may be entered by
variable number or if names have been defined, as variable names.
ranges of variables may be entered by typing the extremes of this
range separated by a "-". next the user will be instructed to
enter the number of covariates. for each treatment, the user
will be asked to enter a variable to be used for each covariate.
either variable numbers or variable names (if names have been
defined) may be used. ranges of variables may be entered by
typing the extremes of the range separated by a "-". no variable
may be used as both a treatment and a covariate, and no variable
may be used as two covariates.
if "break" was specified as an option, the user will be
instructed to enter the variables to be analysed. up to 20
statpack v4 PAGE 13
variables may be entered separated by commas. variables are
indicated by variable number or variable name (if names have been
defined for the variables). ranges of variables may be entered
by typing the extremes of the range separated by a "-". for each
variable specified, a separate analysis of covariance will be
calculated. the user will then be asked to enter the breakdown
variable. only one variable may be entered, by either variable
number or variable name (if names have been defined).
if option "discr" was not supplied then the user will be
requested to enter the ranges for the breakdown variable. each
range is entered on a separate line, minimum first, followed by a
comma, and then the maximum. if names are to be given to the
ranges, the user should enter a comma and the name (5 characters
or less) following the maximum of the range. after the last
range has been entered, type a control z (^z) or line feed. if
the user wishes the ranges to be automatically created "auto" may
be used.
the user will now be instructed to enter covariates
separated by commas. either variable numbers or variable names
(if names have been defined) may be used. ranges of variables
may be entered by typing the extremes of the range separated by a
"-". the covariates will be broken into the same groups as the
treatments.

command: anov1
---------------
purpose: calculate one way analysis of variance
reference: "statistical principles in experimental design", winer,
pages 96-102.
description: the "anov1" command allows the user to calculate one-way
analysis of variance. the user will first be instructed to list
the options desired separated by commas (if no options are
desired type a <cr>). possible options are:
"break"--select samples from one variable based on the value of a
second variable. for each observation, the value of the
second variable (breakdown variable) will be used to
determine in which sample the variable being analyzed
belongs. this is accomplished by determining which of a
series of ranges the value of the breakdown variable fits
into, and then moving the value of the analysis variable to
the corresponding sample. (if this option is not used, the
analysis will be done using variables as the samples.)
note: the following options are to be used only if "break" has
been used.
"discr"--automatic breakdown. instead of the user entering
ranges, a separate range will be created automatically for
each value in the breakdown variable.
"auto"--automatic breakdown. this option is the same as the
"discr" option. do not enter "auto" with the other options;
it should be entered only when asked to type in the ranges.
the "discr" and "auto" options are equivalent. the only
difference is at which point in the program they are
entered.
note: the following option is available only if automatic
breakdowns are to be used.
"range"--list the ranges to be used for the automatic breakdown.
if the "break" option has not been specified, the analysis
of variance will be calculated with each variable specified by
the user occupying a single cell. when instructed the user lists
the variables to be used in the analysis of variance separated by
commas. up to 30 variables may be indicated by variable names
(if names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be entered by listing the extremes of the range
statpack v4 PAGE 17
separated by a "-". one or more "*" may be used when listing the
variables to be analyzed. one at a time each variable not yet
specified in the analysis will be substituted for every "*".
those cases where the same variable would be listed twice in the
same analysis will be eliminated, as will be those cases that
except for a switch in the order of variables, duplicate an
analysis already performed.
if the "break" option has been used, it will be necessary
for the user to supply the following information:
(1) the variables for which analysis of variance are to be
calculated (up to 20). the samples for each set of analysis
of variance will be selected from a single variable.
variables may be listed using either variable names (if
names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be specified by listing the extremes of the
ranges separated by a "-". where analysis of variances are
to be calculated for all variables, a "*" may be used
instead of variable names or numbers.
(2) the variable to be used for the breakdowns. only one
variable may be entered, specified by either its variable
name (if the name has been defined) or variable number. all
variables listed for analysis will be processed using the
same breakdown variable.
(3) ranges for the breakdown variable. if the "discr" option
has been used, this information will be automatically
calculated, and need not be supplied by the user. if the
"discr" option has not been used, the user may still request
the ranges to be automatically calculated by responding with
"auto". to specify ranges, the user types the extremes of
the range, smaller first, separated by a comma. only one
range may be entered per line. up to 50 ranges may be
specified. after the last range has been entered, the user
types a ^z(control z).

"break"--select samples from one variable based on the value of
two other variables. for each observation, the value of the
two variables (breakdown variables) will be used to
determine in which cell the variable being analyzed belongs.
this is accomplished by determining which of a series of
ranges each breakdown variable fits into, and then moving
the value of the analysis variable to the corresponding
cell. (if this option is not used, variables will be used
as cells).
note: the following options are to be used only if the "break"
option is specified.
"discr"--establish ranges for the breakdown variables
automatically. rather than the user typing in ranges for
the breakdown variables, ranges will be automatically
calculated for each breakdown variable in the following
manner:
1) if a breakdown variable has fewer discrete values than
defined groups, a range will be calculated for each
value of the breakdown variable.
2) if a breakdown variable has more discrete value than
defined groups, a range will be calculated by finding
the difference between the maximum and minimum values
of the breakdown variable and separating the difference
into ranges; so that there is a range for each defined
group and all the ranges have equal intervals.
"auto"--if the "discr" option has not been used and the user
wishes to have ranges created automatically for a breakdown
variable, he may type "auto" when instructed to enter the
ranges for a particular breakdown variable. ranges will be
calculated in the same manner as for "discr". do not enter
"auto" with the other options; it should be entered only
when instructed to type in the ranges.
statpack v4 PAGE 21
"group"--specify number of groups (used when groups are to be
automatically broken down). preset to a maximum of 20.
note: the following is available only if automatic breakdowns
are used.
"range"--list the ranges to be used for automatic breakdown.
if the "break" option has not been specified, the analysis
of variance will be created with each specified variable
occupying a cell. the user will be asked for the following
information:
1) number of levels for factor 1. any number between 1 and 20
is acceptable.
2) number of levels for factor 2. any number between 1 and 20
is acceptable.
3) the variable to be put in each cell. one at a time the user
will be asked to specify which variable to be put into each
cell. either the variable name (if names have been defined)
or the variable number may be used to indicate the variable.
if a cell is empty the user may indicate this by typing
"empty". a "*" may also be used in one or more cells. one
at a time each variable not yet specified in the analysis
will be substituted for every "*".
if the break option has been specified, it will be necessary
for the user to supply the following information:
1) if the "group" option has been selected, the user will be
asked to indicate how many groups comprise a breakdown
variable. each breakdown variable can have 1 to 20 groups.
2) the variables for which the analyses are to be performed for
each two-way analysis of variance, the values comprising all
the cells will be selected from the same variable. up to 40
variables may be entered using either variable names (if
names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be specified by listing the extremes of the
ranges separated by a "-". where analysis of variance are
to be calculated for all variables, a "*" may be used
instead of variable numbers or names.
3) the user will be asked to supply both breakdown variables.
either variable names (if names have been defined) or
variable numbers may be used.
4) if the "discr" option was not specified, the user will be
expected to enter the ranges for the breakdowns. up to 20
ranges may be submitted. each range is indicated by typing
the extremes (smaller first) separated by a comma. when
finished entering ranges for either of the breakdown
variables, type a ^z(control z). if ranges are to be
calculated automatically for a breakdown variable, type
"auto".

command: assign
----------------
purpose: assign output to the line printer.
description: the "assign" command allows the user to print results on
the line printer. this command must be given prior to any
commands for which the output is to be assigned to the line
printer. once the command has been given, no other responses are
necessary. output will remain assigned to the line printer until
a "deass" command is given. it is permissible to channel output
back and forth between the line printer and terminal using the
"assign" and "deass" commands. questions to the user will still
be asked via the terminal. while output is assigned, no output
will appear on the terminal.
note: a "fini" command must be used to initiate printing of the output
assigned to the line printer. it is necessary to use the "fini"
command to ensure printing of the results which were assigned.
for multiple copies of the results use the "copys" command.

command: bargr
---------------
purpose: create bargraphs
reference: "basic statistical methods", downe and heath, page 27.
description: the "bargr" command allows user to construct one or more
bargraphs. when instructed, the user enters the variables
separated by commas for which the bargraphs are to be created.
up to 20 variables may be entered using either the variable names
(if names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be indicated by typing the extremes of the range
separated by a "-". where bargraphs are to be constructed for
all variables, a "*" may be used in place of variable names or
numbers.
the user will next be instructed to enter the ranges for the
bargraphs. ranges are entered 1 per line, minimum first,
followed by a comma and the maximum. when the last range has
been entered, a control z (^z) or a blank line should be typed.
ranges may be calculated automatically, by placing each unique
value in an individual range, or if more than 40 values exist,
then 40 ranges are created each with an equal interval. to have
the ranges automatically calculated the user should respond with
"auto" when instructed to enter the ranges. if auto is used, and
the user wishes to limit the number of ranges to be created, the
"auto" should be followed by a "/" and the maximum number of
ranges the user desires.

command: chisq
---------------
purpose: calculate chi square
limitation: chisq will only calculate the chi square for raw data
already entered into statpack. there are no provisions for
calculating a chi square from a pre-calculated table.
reference: "non-parametric statistics", siegel, pages 42-47, 104-111,
196-202.
description: the "chisq" command allows the user to calculate either
a one-variable or a two-variables chi square. options exist to
group certain values together prior to forming the contingency
table, and collapsing the table once it is formed. when
instructed to list the options, the user enters the options
desired separated by commas (if no options are desired, type a
<cr>). possible options are:
group--group certain ranges of values together prior to forming
the contingency table
contg--eliminate contingency table from final output
colps--collapse contingency table (includes omitting)
fishr--calculate fishers exact probability (2x2 table only)
when instructed to enter variables, the user enters either
one or two variables separated by a comma. variables may be
listed by variable names (if names have been defined) or variable
numbers. if a one-variable chi square is desired for all
variables, the user may enter a "*". similarly, a two-variable
chi square between a single variable and all the remaining
variables may be entered by typing the variable which is to be
analyzed with all others, a comma, and a "*". if two variable
chi squares are to be calculated between all combinations of
variables, a "*,*" may be used.
if the "group" option has been given, the user will be
allowed to enter ranges for grouping certain values together. up
to 15 ranges may be entered for each variable, one range per
line. each range is entered by typing the extremes of the range,
smaller first separated by a comma. to finish entering ranges,
type a "stop" (this stop terminates the entry of ranges - it is
not the same as the "stop" command), <cr>, or ^z(control z).
if the "colps" option has been given, the user will be
expected to enter instructions for collapsing the contingency
table. each instruction is composed of a single character
indicating what is to be done, a variable name (if names have
statpack v4 PAGE 31
been defined) or variable number enclosed in parentheses, and a
string of numbers referencing levels to be acted upon.
single letter codes possible are:
c--combine levels
d---delete levels
the variable enclosed in parentheses must be one of the
variables being analyzed. the string of numbers represent the
level numbers in the contingency table which are to be acted
upon. ranges of levels may also be indicated by entering the
extremes of the range separated by a "-". collapsing
instructions are entered one per line. when finished, type
"stop" or ^z(control z).
the probability and contingency coefficient will be supplied
with the chi square. in the case of a 2 x 2 table the corrected
chi square will also be calculated. if in a two variable chi
square only one level exists for either of the variables, the chi
square will be calculated as a one-variable test.

command: copys
---------------
purpose: obtain multiple copies of output.
limitation: maximum of 63 copies
description: the "copys" command allows the user to obtain multiple
copies of output. when requested, the user types in the number
of copies desired. up to 63 copies may be requested. if the
number entered is less than or equal to zero, the number of
copies will default to one.
the "copys" command is used in conjunction with the "print"
and "assign" commands. it may be issued at anytime prior to
either the "print" command (for a printing of the data) or the
"fini" command (for the output that was assigned to the line
printer). once the number of copies has been entered, it can
only be changed by another "copys" command.

command: cvsmt
---------------
purpose: forecasting
reference: "decision rules for inventory management", r. g. brown.
description: the "cvsmt" command utilizes an exponential smoothing
model in forecasting cases, where time is the independent
variable and assumed the only condition changing. the user will
first be instructed to enter the variables separated by commas
for which forecasts are to be made. up to 20 variables may be
listed, by variables names (if names have been defined) or
variable numbers. ranges of variables may be specified by typing
the extremes of the range separated by a "-". if forecasts are
to be made for all variables the user may respond with a "*".
the user will next be instructed to enter options separated
by commas. possible options are:
"nlogy"--natural log transformation of dependent variable
(for each observation the natural log of the variable
will be used in the calculations).
"nlogt"--natural log transformation of time
"trend"--user enters trend line
"short"--short output (trend line, variance, projected
values)
"multi"--multiplicative rather than additive seasonal terms
if no options are desired type a <cr>.
the user will now be told to enter the number of
observations per cycle. at least two cycles of data must be
present to establish a forecasting model.
next the user will be asked to enter the weighting factors.
one at a time he will be prompted for the trend, steady state,
and seasonal factors.
finally the user will be instructed to enter the percentage
criteria for seasonal terms. those periods that consistently
deviate from the expected values by this percentage in the first
two cycles are assumed to have seasonal effects.
if the user has specified the "trend" option he will also be
instructed to enter the trend line. this is accomplished by

---------------
purpose: calculate factor analysis
reference: "scientific subroutine package".
description: the "facto" command allows the user to calculate a
factor analysis for selected variables. the user will first be
instructed to enter the options separated by commas (if no
options are necessary type a <cr>). possible options are:
"const"--specify constant to decide how many eigenvalues to
retain
"evect"--include eigenvectors in output
"factm"--include factor matrix in output
"varia"--include variances in output
"commu"--include communalities in output
"fscor"--include factor scores in output
"sfscr"--save factor scores
"all"----include all above options
if the "const" option has been specified, the user will
first be asked to supply the constant value for retaining
eigenvalues. unless the "const" option is specified, a constant
value of 1.0 is assumed.
when instructed the user should enter the variables,
separated by commas for which the factor analysis is to be
calculated. up to 40 variables may be entered using either
variable names (if names have been defined) or variable numbers.
ranges of variables may be indicated by typing the extremes of
the range separated by a "-". one or more "*" may be used when
listing the variables to be analyzed. one at a time each
variable not yet specified in the analysis will be substituted
for every "*". those cases where the same variable would be
listed twice in the same analysis will be eliminated, as will be
those cases that except for a switch in the order of the
variables, duplicate an analysis already performed.

description: the "freq" command is used to produce frequency of
occurrence tables for one or more variables. the user will first
be asked if he desires percentages, to which the response must be
a "yes" or "no". next the user will be instructed to list the
variables separated by commas for which frequencies are to be
tabulated. up to 40 variables may be entered using either
variable names (if names have been defined) or variable numbers.
ranges of variables may be specified by typing the extremes of
the range separated by a "-". where frequencies are to be
tabulated for all variables, a "*" may be substituted for
variable names and numbers. the tabled results will be labeled,
and size of table adjusted to utilize space available for output.
note: positive and negative numbers as well as multiple digit numbers
may be processed with this command.

command: hist
--------------
purpose: create histograms
reference: "basic statistical methods", downe and heath, pages 25-27.
description: the "hist" command allows the user to construct one or
more histograms. when instructed, the user enters the variables
separated by commas for which the histograms are to be created.
up to 20 variables may be entered using either the variable names
(if names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be indicated by typing the extremes of the range
separated by a "-". where histograms are to be calculated for
all variables, a "*" may be used in place of variable names and
numbers.
scaling will be automatically done with the number of
divisions determined by the space available for output. the
range of values included in each division will be listed in the
output, as well as the frequency and percentage of observations
falling into each division.
example:
which command? hist

command: info
--------------
purpose: give the user a general program description.
description: the "info" command allows the new user to obtain a brief
description of the program while sitting at the terminal. once
the command has been given, no other responses are necessary.
the text will simply be typed out.
example:
which command? info
stat pack is an integrated statistical package, written for
terminal use. it allows the user to issue simple commands
for data analysis. the program is in conversational mode and
will prompt the user for desired information. in most instances
when questions of procedure arise the user may request further
information, by simply typing "help". standard form of output
is terminal, but output may easily be channeled to the
printer. input is readily accepted from terminal or disk.
input consists of observations, each containing a value for
all of the variables. each observation must begin a new line.
the data may be input in either of two ways: 1) one observation
per line with values separated by commas; or 2) according
to your own input format which is entered using the command
"form". after the last observation enter a ^z (cntrl z).
to see the command list type "help" after "which command?"
and "al" for the 2 character code. a restriction on
data input is: 20 numbers maximum per line under
standard format. if a line requires more than 72
columns use your own input format.

description: the "kendl" command allows the user to calculate and
display kendall tau correlations between all variables. once the
"kendl" command is given no other responses are necessary from
the user. output is in the form of a well labeled matrix, with
its size adjusting to the space available.

command: kolm
----------------
purpose: calculate one or two sample kolmogorov-smirnov tests.
reference: "statistical methods", b. h. lindgren, pages 329-335.
description: the "kolm" command allows user to calculate one or two
sample kolmogorov-smirnov tests. the user will first be
instructed to enter the options desired separated by commas.
possible options are:
*** one sample options ***
norml--test the variables to be specified against a normal
distribution. (if no options are specified this will be the
default).
expon--test the variables to be specified against an exponential
distribution.
cauch--test the variables to be specified against a cauchy
distribution.
unifm--test the variables to be specified against an uniform
distribution.
total--test the variables to be specified against a normal,
cauchy, uniform, and exponential distributions.
suppl--normally the parameters calculated from the sample will be
used to specify the distribution being tested, however, the
suppl option allows the user to enter his own parameters for
the distributions.
*** two sample options ***
2samp--indicates test will be a two sample kolmogorov-smirnov
test.
break--rather than having the two samples coming from two
variables, select the two samples from a single variable
based on the value of another variable (breakdown variable).
this option is available only if "2samp" has been used.
discr--ranges calculated automatically with a separate range
created for each unique value. if this option is not used
it will be necessary for the user to enter the ranges. if
statpack v4 PAGE 62
more than 20 unique values exist for the breakdown variable,
it will also be necessary for the user to enter ranges.
this option only available if "break" is used.
range--list ranges calculated. this option only available if
"discr" is used.
for the one sample test the user will be instructed to enter
the variables to be tested against the distributions specified.
up to 20 variables may be entered separated by commas. variable
numbers or variable names (if names have been defined) may be
used to indicate the variables. ranges of variables may be
specified by entering the extremes of the range separated by a
"-". if all variables are to be tested the user may use a "*".
no other responses are necessary unless the suppl option was
specified. if "suppl" was used, the user must supply the
parameters for the various distributions when requested.
for the two sample test the user will be instructed to enter
the variables separated by commas. up to 20 variable numbers or
variable names (if names have been defined) may be entered.
ranges of variables may be specified by typing the extremes of
the range separated by a "-". if all variables are to be used an
"*" may be entered. if the break option has not been used, no
other information need be entered. if the break option has been
used, it will be necessary for the user to enter the breakdown
variable. either the variable number or variable name (if names
have been defined) may be used. if the option "discr" has not
been specified the user must enter the ranges for the breakdown
variable. up to 20 ranges for the breakdown variable are
entered, one range per line. each range is comprised of a
minimum for the range, a comma, and a maximum. when the last
range has been entered, type a control z (^z) or carriage return.

command: mabnk
---------------
purpose: create a bank from data in stp.
description: the "mabnk" command allows users to make a bank file
from data located in stp. when the name for the bank is
requested, the user should type in a name of at most 6
characters; no extension is necessary as a ".bnk" will be
supplied. all variables in stp will be put into the bank in the
same order as they occur in stp. if variable names are not
assigned in stp, generated names of "v1", "v2", "v3", ..., will
be given to the variables in the bank. a standard protection
code of <155> will be assigned to the bank unless otherwise
specified by the user.
banks are stored as binary random access files to increase
recovery speed, and eliminate formatting problems. do not
attempt to print bank files; output will not be meaningful, and
large amounts of line printer paper will be wasted.
example:
which command? mabnk
bank name? john
what protection? 177
statpack v4 PAGE 67
command: make
--------------
purpose: document output with one or more pages of user submitted
information.
description: the "make" command allows the user to insert one or more
pages of documentation into program generated output. after the
make command is issued, the user is instructed to enter his page
or pages of documentation. when finished, the user types a <cr>,
an altmode, and another <cr>. the information submitted by the
user is entered into the output only once, at that point in the
output where the "make" command was requested. the text is
transferred to the output line by line, thus corrections to
previous lines are not possible. if corrections are to be made
to the line currently being typed in, rubouts may be used. each
rubout used erases the previous character. lines may be up to
120 characters long.
a disk file may also be used as the text to be inserted into
the output. to specify a disk file the user types an "@" and the
name of the file with the extension. the file must reside in the
area from which stat pack is being run.
examples:
which command? make
*** documentation ***

statpack v4 PAGE 68
command: manip
---------------
purpose: correct mistakes in data, make allowances for missing data,
add variables or observations, and modify or discard observations
which do not meet certain criteria.
description: "manip" is a command allowing the user to issue
instructions one at a time, to delete, type, modify, or add to
data which has been entered in statpack. each instruction has
the following three parts:
a. what operation is to be performed
each instruction must have as the first character a code
indicating what the instruction does.
"a"-add to the data
"d"-delete data
"e"-return to "which command?"
"r"-replace data with new values
"t"-type data on terminal
b. what portion of the data is to be acted upon by the operation
this portion of the "manip" instruction indicates which
section of the data is to be acted upon. the observation number
and variable number or name are used for such reference. to
indicate a particular observation an "o" is followed by the
observation number. to define a variable a "v" is followed by
the variable number or if names are defined for the variables,
the name enclosed in parentheses. ranges of variables or
observations may be indicated by following the "v" or "o" with
the smallest number in the range, a "-" (dash), and finally with
the largest number in the range. when only those values which
meet certain criteria are to be acted upon, a search is used.
the coding for a search consists of an "s" followed by a
conditional code and a numerical value used as a reference for
the conditional code. these codes are:
">" or "g"-greater than
"<" or "l"-less than
"=" or "e"-equal to
the condition code is modified by the value which follows
it, indicating the value to be searched for and the relationship
that must be satisfied in order to act upon the data.
c. what extra information is desired or previously defined
during execution of instruction strings, a report is written
on the terminal containing variable names or numbers, observation
numbers, and values at these points. if the report is
unnecessary or unwanted, a "w" will cause it to be suppressed.
statpack v4 PAGE 69
normally, when an instruction has been issued to replace or
add data, the values to be inserted are supplied by the user, one
at a time in response to a single question mark. a constant
value to be used for that instruction may be supplied
(eliminating the need to type in data upon cue), by inserting a
"c" followed by the numeric value to be used as the constant.
two special constants are also available: the mean of the
variable, and the mean of the variable calculated by ignoring all
occurrences of a particular value. if the mean of the variable
is to be used as the constant, replace the "c" and its associated
value by an "m". if the constant to be used is the mean
calculated by ignoring a particular value, as with missing data,
replace the "m" with an "l" followed by the value to be ignored
during calculation of the mean.
when typing an instruction to "manip" there may be no
spaces, and the first character must be the code indicating what
is to be done. no particular order must be maintained beyond the
first character. a double question mark indicates an instruction
should be inserted. a single question mark is used to indicate a
numeric value is to be inserted for data.

command: mann
--------------
purpose: calculate mann-whitney u
reference: "basic statistical methods", downe and heath, pages 213,
214. "non-parametric statistics", siegel, pages 116-127.
description: the "mann" command allows the user to calculate
mann-whitney u. the user will first be instructed to list the
options desired, separated by commas. if no options are desired
type a <cr>. possible options are:
"break"--select samples from one variable based on the value of a
second variable. for each observation, the value of the
second variable (breakdown variable) will be used to
determine in which sample the variable being analyzed
belongs. this is accomplished by determining which of a
series of ranges the value of the breakdown variable fits
into, and then moving the value of the analysis variable to
the corresponding sample. (if this option is not used,
mann-whitney u's will be calculated between variables.)
note: the following options are to be used only if "break" has
been used.
"discr"--automatic breakdown. instead of the user entering
ranges, a separate range will be created automatically for
each value in the breakdown variable.
"auto"--automatic breakdown. this option is the same as the
"discr" option. do not enter "auto" with the other options,
it should be used only when asked to enter the ranges. the
"discr" and "auto" options are equivalent; the only
difference is at which point in the program they are
entered.
note: the following option is available only if automatic
breakdown is to be used.
"range"--list the ranges to be used for the automatic breakdown.
if the "break" option has not been specified, mann-whitney u
will be calculated between all possible pairs of variables. no
other user responses will be necessary.
if the "break" option has been used, it will be necessary
for the user to supply the following information:
statpack v4 PAGE 75
(1) the variables for which mann-whitney u are to be calculated
(up to 20). the samples for each set of mann-whitney u will
be selected from a single variable. variables may be listed
using either variable names (if names have been defined) or
variable numbers. ranges of variables may be specified by
listing the extremes of the range separated by a "-". where
mann-whitney u's are to calculated for all variables, a "*"
may be used instead of variable names or numbers.
(2) the variable to be used for the breakdowns. only one
variable may be entered, specified by either its variable
name (if the name has been defined) or variable number. all
variables listed for analysis will be processed using the
same breakdown variable.
(3) ranges for the breakdown variable. if the "discr" option
has been used, this information will be automatically
calculated, and need not be supplied by the user. if the
"discr" option has not been used, the user may still request
the ranges be automatically calculated by responding with
"auto". to specify ranges, the user types the extremes of
range, smaller first, separated by a comma. only one range
may be entered per line. up to 50 ranges may be specified.
after the last range has been entered, the user types a
^z(control z).

command: mta/i
---------------
purpose: read data stored on magnetic tape, with the ability to
select variables, and subset data (leave out observations which
do not meet user specified criteria).
limitation: data must be in ascii mode on magnetic tape, line-blocked
and recorded at 556 bpi. (these are normal w.m.u. magnetic tape
standards.) tape must be located at computer center or given to
operator prior to run.
description: the "mta/i" command is used to read data located on
magnetic tapes. if the format of the tape is other than the
standard format (20f) the "form" command should be used prior to
the "mta/i" command. the user will first be instructed to type
in some identification for the tape. a single line of 26
characters should be typed in, containing tape i.d. no.(if
available), name of user, or other identification. this message
is sent to the operator, along with the project-programmer number
of the user. the operator has a choice of five responses; they
are: no drives are available, tape cannot be located, the user
does not have one of the project-programmer numbers for which the
tape is reserved, more information needed, or the tape has been
mounted.
if a magnetic tape drive is free and the user may access the
requested magnetic tape, the magnetic tape will be mounted on the
free drive and the user informed of the drive number. if the
tape has not been mounted, check the following list to determine
proper course of action:
operator's reply action to be taken
---------------- ------------------
no drives available wait and request tape later
tape cannot be located 1. check and make sure right
i.d. number was used
2. make sure tape is at
computer center
3. contact operator to
determine problem

number does not appear on the send a signed note to the
list of numbers which may to the computer center
access the tape containing any additions or
changes of proj-prog numbers
which may access the tape.
statpack v4 PAGE 77
operator needs more type in another line of up to
information 30 characters of i.d.
the user will then be asked which position on the tape the
file he wishes to access occupies. if the file is the only one
on the tape or was the first one written on the tape, then it
occupies position number 1. if it was the second one written on
the tape, then it occupies position number 2, etc. when the user
has answered this question, the magtape will advance to the
proper file. the user will then be asked how many variables it
will be necessary to look at. this includes variables which may
only be used as qualifiers. next, when instructed, the user
types in the qualifiers (50 maximum), one per line with no
spaces. each qualifier checks one variable to make certain it
contains a specified value or range of values. if the qualifier
is not satisfied the observation being scrutinized is discarded,
and the next observation considered. each qualifier is composed
of three parts: the number of the variable to be checked, the
relationship which must be satisfied if the observation is to be
accepted, and the value which the variable is compared against.
the relationships possible are:
,eq, - equal
,ne, - not equal
,lt, - less than
,gt, - greater than
,le, - less than or equal to
,ge, - greater than or equal to
after the last qualifier has been typed, a <cr>, ^z, or
"stop" may be typed. the user is then instructed to list the
numbers of the variables which are to be used as data, separated
by commas. the first variable listed becomes variable number 1
in the data set, the second variable listed becomes variable
number 2, etc. when either the entire file has been considered
or the data set has been filled, the user will be informed of the
number of observations in the data set, and the number of records
from which the data was selected. when finished, before logging
off the computer, indicate to the operator to remove the magnetic
tape from the drive.
example:
which command? mta/i
please give some identification for the tape? mag tape #1234
tape has been mounted on mta0 write protected. be
sure to ask to have the tape dismounted when done

command: name
--------------
purpose: assign names to variables
limitation: maximum of five characters per name
description: the "name" command allows the user to assign names to
variables. one at a time, each variable number will be typed out
followed by a question mark. in response, the user may type in
the name he has selected for that variable, subject to the
following limitations:
(1) maximum of five characters
(2) first character must be alphanumeric
(3) ";", ",", "-", or blanks must not be present in the name
(4) "all", "stop", "help", "empty", and "obs" are not legal
names
(5) two variables must not be given the same name
if it is not necessary to name a variable, or if the
variable has been previously given a name and it does not need to
be changed, the user may type a <cr>.
names will be kept only until the end of the run or until a
new set of data is read. the "store" command does not store
names with the data, if the names are necessary, they will have
to be input each time the data is fetched.
the names are primarily used to label output, but they may
be used whenever it is necessary to specify a variable.
example:
which command? name
var 1? iq
var 2? test1
var 3? test2
var 4? test3
var 5? test4

command: 1wayr
---------------
purpose: calculate one way analysis of variance with repeated
measures.
reference: "statistical principles in experimental design", winer,
pages 105-113.
description: the "1wayr" command allows the user to calculate a one
way analysis of variance with repeated measures. when
instructed, the user lists the variables separated by commas for
which he wishes to have an analysis of variance calculated. up
to 50 variables may be entered, using either variable names (if
names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be entered by typing the extremes of the range
separated by a "-".
one or more "*" may be used when listing the variables to be
analyzed. one at a time each variable not yet specified in the
analysis will be substituted for every "*". those cases where
the same variable would be listed twice in the same analysis will
be eliminated, as will be those cases which, except for a switch
in the order of the variables, duplicate an analysis already
performed.
output will be labeled with variable names, if available;
otherwise, variable numbers will be used. output size will be
adjusted to fully utilize space available.

description: the "pcent" command allows the user to calculate
selected percentiles for one or more variables. when prompted,
the user lists the variables separated by commas for which the
percentiles are to be calculated. up to 20 variables may be
entered using either the variable names (if names have been
defined) or variable numbers. ranges of variables may be
indicated by typing the extremes of the range separated by a "-".
where percentiles are to be calculated for all variables, a "*"
must be substituted for variable names and numbers.
the user will then be instructed to list the percentiles he
wishes to have calculated separated by commas. up to 20
percentiles may be entered. if either the deciles (10th, 20th,
30th,...80th, 90th percentiles) or quartiles (25th, 50th, and

--------------
purpose: produce bivariate scatter plot
reference: "basic statistical methods", downe and heath, pages 79-82.
description: the "plot" command allows the user to produce a
bivariate (two variable) scatter plot. scatter plots may be
produced for the following:
(1) a single variable vs a single variable
(2) a single variable vs all other variables
(3) all variables vs all variables
it will be necessary for the user to supply first the
horizontal and then the vertical axes. either variables names
(if names have been defined) or variable numbers may be used.
where all variables are to be used a "*" may be substituted for
variable names or numbers. the plot is automatically scaled in
both the horizontal and vertical directions, and its size is
adjusted to utilize space available.
the digits 1 through 9 indicate the number of observations
occupying a single point in the graph. letters (a-z) are used
when more than 9 observations occupy the same location, starting
with a to indicate 10 numbers, b to indicate 11, etc., and z to
indicate 35. if more than 35 observations occupy a single point
a "*" will be used.

purpose: calculate probabilities associated with t tests, f tests,
and chi squares.
description: the "prob" command allows the user to calculate
probabilities associated with t tests, f tests, and chi squares.
to indicate to the user that an instruction should be inserted, a
"?" will be typed out. this will be the first reply to the
"prob" command, and will appear after each probability
calculated. instructions may be entered in either of two ways:
(1) a code indicating the type of probability desired (the user
will be prompted for additional information). the codes
are:
chi--chi square
t----t test
f----f test
(2) the code and information are entered in one line (no
prompting except for "?" is necessary here). the codes and
information are entered in the following manner, with no
spaces between any characters:
chi square
----------
chi##,df
the three character code "chi" followed by the
value of the chi square (the chi square is
substituted for the "##" in the above string).
this is followed by a comma, and finally, the
degrees of freedom (degrees of freedom substituted
for "df".)
t test
------
t##,df
the single character code "t" followed by the
value of the t score (the t score is substituted
for the "##" in the above string). this is
followed by a comma, and finally the degrees of
freedom (degrees of freedom substituted for "df").
f tests
-------
f##,ndf,ddf
the single character code "f" followed by the
value of the f score (f score substituted for the
"##" in the above string). next a comma, and then
the degrees of freedom in the numerator (degrees
statpack v4 PAGE 88
of freedom in the numerator will replace the "ndf"
in above string). finally, a comma followed by
the degrees of freedom in the denominator (degrees
of freedom in the denominator will replace the
"ddf" in above line).
included in the output will be a statement of the parameters
supplied as well as the probabilities calculated. both the
one-tailed and two-tailed probabilities will be calculated for
the t tests. to return to "which command?" enter an "exit",

command: regr
--------------
purpose: produce multiple regressions
reference: "statistical methods", snedecor and cochran, pages 381-418
description: the "regr" command allows the user to produce multiple
regression on selected variables. when instructed, the user
enters the option desired. only one option exists for the "regr"
command. it is:
"resid"--store residuals
if this option is not to be used, type a <cr>.
if the "resid" option has been specified the user will be
asked to indicate under which variable the residuals are to be
stored. the variable name (if the name already exists) or the
variable number may be used in storing the residuals. once the
residuals have been stored in the variable, the variable name
will be changed to "resid".
the user will be instructed to list the independent
variables separated by commas. up to 19 variables may be listed
by variable names (if names have been defined) or variable
numbers. ranges of variables may be indicated by typing the
extremes of the range separated by a "-". one or more "*" may be
used when listing the variables. one at a time each variable not
yet specified in the analysis will be substituted for every "*".
those cases where the same variable would be listed twice in the
same analysis will be eliminated, as will those cases which
except for a change in the order of variables, duplicate an
analysis already performed.
finally, the user will be asked to enter the dependent
variable. either the variable name (if names have been used) or
the variable number may be used. if the user wishes to
substitute in one at a time all those variables not specified as
independent, he may respond with a "*". the "*" may be used both
as the dependent variable, and as one or more independent
variables in the same analysis.

from major to minor. when the sort has been completed, each
observation will remain unaltered, only the order in which the
observations occur will have been changed. the major sort key
(first variable in the list) is used to determine which of two
observations is first. if no decision can be made as in the case
of a tie, the next variable in the list of sort keys is used.
the sort proceeds in this manner always checking the next
variable in the list, until it reaches the minor sort key (the
last variable in the list). if no decision can yet be made, they
are left in the same order as they occur.

command: stepr
---------------
purpose: produce stepwise regressions
reference: "mathematical methods for digital computers", ralston and
wilf, pages 191-203.
description: the "stepr" command allows the user to produce stepwise
regressions for selected variables. when instructed, the user
enters the desired options separated by commas.
possible options to "stepr" are:
"anova"--analysis of variance
"durwt"--durbin-watson test for autocorrelation
"f-val"--indicate f values for entering or omitting a
variable
"force"--indicate variables to be forced into regression
"resid"--store residuals
"toler"--indicate a tolerance other than .0001
if no options are desired, type a <cr>.
if the user has specified the "toler" option he will be
asked to enter a tolerance. the normally assumed tolerance is
.0001.
if "f-val" option was specified, the user will be instructed
to supply the f-value for omitting a variable.
the "resid" option, if used, will cause the residuals to be
stored as a variable. when asked under which variable the
residuals should be stored, the user responds with a variable
name (the variable name must already exist) or a variable number.
once the residuals are stored the name of the variable containing
the residuals will automatically be changed to "resid".
the user will now be instructed to list the independent
variables separated by commas for analysis by the stepwise
regression. up to 19 variables may be listed by variable names
(if names have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of
variables may be indicated by typing the extremes of the ranges
separated by a "-". one or more "*" may be used when listing the
variables to be analyzed. one at a time each variable not yet
specified in the analysis will be substituted for every "*".
those cases where the same variable would be listed twice in the
same analysis will be eliminated, as will be those cases which,
except for a change in the order of the variables, duplicate an
statpack v4 PAGE 97
analysis already performed.
the user will now be asked to enter the dependent variable,
either the variable name (if names have been defined) or the
variable number may be used. if the user wishes to substitute in
one at a time all those variables not specified as independent,
he may respond with a "*". the "*" may be used both as the
dependent variable and as one or more independent variables in
the same analysis.
if the user specified the "force" option, he will be
instructed to enter those variables, separated by commas to be
forced into the stepwise regression. variables to be forced into
the regression may be entered by either variable names (if names
have been defined) or variable numbers. only variables specified
as independent may be forced into the stepwise regression.

command: stop
--------------
purpose: restart stat pack, alter data size
description: the "stop" command allows the user to restart a run of
stat pack. once the command is given, no additional responses
are necessary.
all files except those created with a "store" command will
be destroyed. output which has been assigned to the line printer
but has not been printed, will remain unchanged, and any further
output assigned to the printer will be added. when the "fini"
command is given all output to that point will be printed. data
which has been entered for analysis will have to be re-entered.
the user will be given the opportunity to restate the limits
for his data when the "stop" command is used. it is possible to
increase, decrease, or leave unchanged the assumed data set;
however, the size is still subject to the original limitations.
example:
which command? stop
maximum number of observations?
statpack v4 PAGE 101
command: store
---------------
purpose: store data on disk
limitations: data stored as floating point numbers, with no option
available to alter output format.
description: the "store" command allows the user to store selected
variables on the disk under his own area. when the file name is
requested, the user types in up to a six character name, and up
to a three character extension separated by a period. next the
user will be asked for the variables to be stored. to indicate
the variables, list either the variable names (if names have been
defined) or the variable numbers on one line separated by commas.
ranges of variables may be indicated by typing the extremes of
the range separated by a "-". if all the variables are to be
stored, a "*" may be used. a standard protection code of 177
will be assigned to the file unless otherwise specified by the
user. data will be stored according to the format (8g15.7).
example:
which command? store
what is the name of the file? song.dat
which variables? 1,3-5
selected variables were stored according to format:
(8g15.7)
what protection would you like? 177
statpack v4 PAGE 102
command: title
---------------
purpose: label output
limitation: the title is limited to one line of 72 characters.
description: the "title" command allows the user to label output with
a line of identification. when instructed, the user types in a
label of up to 72 characters. once the "title" command has been
issued, the output from each command will be labeled. only
another "title" command can modify a header already entered.
example:
which command? title
type in the line of identification
data used is random and not meant for conclusions
which command? desc
data used is random and not meant for conclusions
there are 1 variables and 14 observations
var. means std.dev. variance

statpack v4 PAGE 103
command: trans
---------------
purpose: create or modify variables by combining or transforming
existing variables.
description: instructions for transforming variables are structured
in the same manner as a fortran arithmetic statement. the basic
form of each instruction is: the variable to be modified or
created, a "=", and the expression to be evaluated. for each
observation in the data set, the expression to the right of the
"=" is evaluated and its final value is placed in the variable to
the left of the "=". the rules governing the evaluation of the
expression are the same as for fortran. the order in which
operations are executed (hierarchy) is as follows:
order sign explanation of sign
----- ---- -------------------
1 ** exponent
2 * multiply
2 / divide
3 + add
3 - subtract
operations which have the same order of execution are
evaluated as they are encountered proceeding from left to right
through the expression. parentheses inside an expression are
evaluated first, beginning with the innermost. several
predefined functions are available for use in the
transformations. they are:
"abs" - absolute value
"arcsn"- arc sin
"arctn"- arc tangent
"cos" - cosine
"exp" - exponential (e to the x)
"ln" - natural log
"log10"- log base 10
"mean" - mean of variable
"norm" - normal random number generator
"ran" - random number generator (.0-1.)
"sin" - sin
"sqrt" - square root
"std" - standard deviation of variable
functions are evaluated on an equal priority within
parentheses. they are used by typing the abbreviation, and then
the number or expression to be evaluated, enclosed in
parentheses.
statpack v4 PAGE 104
the "trans" command also allows a form of conditional
statement, for which four comparisons to zero are available.
these are:
"ifl" - if less than zero
"ife" - if equal to zero
"ifn" - if not equal to zero
"ifg" - if greater than zero
conditional statements are written in three parts: a
condition to be satisfied, indicated by the three-character code;
an expression enclosed in parentheses to be evaluated and
compared against zero; and the transformation to be executed if
the conditional is satisfied. for each observation, the
expression enclosed in parentheses is evaluated; if it has the
relationship to zero indicated by the conditional code, the
transformation is done for that observation. if the conditional
code is not satisfied, no action is taken and the next
observation is considered.
when issuing instructions to "trans", variable names may be
used or the variable numbers preceded by a "#".
examples:
? total=pts1+pts2+pts3
the variable: total is created or
modified by adding the variables:
pts1, pts2, and pts3 together and
placing the final value in total.
? avgpt=(pts1+pts2+pts3)/3.
the variable: avgpt is created or
modified by adding the variables:
pts1, pts2, pts3 together, dividing
the sum by 3 and placing the final
answer in avgpt.
? iq=mtage/pyage
the variable: iq is modified or
created by dividing the variable:
mtage by the variable: pyage and
placing the answer in iq.
? z=(weigh-mean(weigh))/std(weigh)
the variable: z is created or
transformed by subtracting the mean
of variable: weigh from the
variable: weigh and dividing that
value by the standard deviation of
the variable: weigh.
statpack v4 PAGE 105
? log3=ln(#3)
create or modify the variable: log3
by taking the natural log of
variable number: 3.
? exp=3.14*sex+2.2*weigh+22.
create or modify the variable: exp
by placing the value of 3.14 times
the variable: sex plus 2.2 times
the variable: weigh plus 22 into
the variable: exp.
? ifl(age-24) group=1
create or modify the variable:
group by checking the variable:
age. if the value of variable age
minus 24 is less than 0, put a 1 in
variable: group; otherwise leave
group unchanged.
statpack v4 PAGE 106
command: ttest
---------------
purpose: calculate t tests (significant difference between means)
reference: "statistical methods", snedecor and cochran, pages 104-106
description: the "ttest" command allows the user to calculate t tests
(significant difference between means). when instructed, the
user lists the options he desires separated by commas. possible
options are:
"headr"--suppress initial portion of report, that part containing
means and standard deviations for each sample.
"probs"--output probability (two-tailed) associated with t tests.
"break"--select samples from one variable based on the value of a
second variable. for each observation, the value of the
second variable (breakdown variable) will be used to
determine in which sample the value of variable being
analyzed belongs. this is accomplished by determining which
of a series of ranges the value of the breakdown variable
fits into, and then moving the value of analysis variable to
the corresponding sample. (if this option is not used,
ttest will be calculated between variables.)
note: the following options are used only if "break" has been
used.
"discr"--automatic breakdown. instead of the user entering
ranges, a separate range will be created automatically for
each value in the breakdown variable.
"auto"--automatic breakdown. this option is the same as the
"discr" option. do not enter "auto" with the other options,
it should be entered only when asked to enter the ranges.
note: the following option is only available if automatic
breakdowns are to be used.
"range"--list the ranges to be used for the automatic breakdown.
if the "break" option has not been specified, t tests will
be calculated between all possible pairs of variables. no other
user responses will be necessary in this case.
if the "break" option has been used, it will be necessary
for the user to supply the following information:
statpack v4 PAGE 107
(1) the variables for which t tests are to be calculated (up to
20). the samples for each set of t tests will be selected
from a single variable. variables may be listed using
either variable names (if names have been defined) or
variable numbers. ranges of variables may be specified by
listing the extremes of the range separated by a "-". where
t tests are to be calculated for all variables, a "*" may be
used instead of variable names or numbers.
(2) the variable to be used for the breakdowns. only one
variable may be used, it may be identified by either the
variable name (if name has been defined) or variable number.
all of the variables listed for analysis will be processed
using the same breakdown variable.
(3) ranges for the breakdown variable. if the "discr" option
has been used, this information will be automatically
calculated, and need not be supplied by the user. if the
"discr" option has not been used, the user may still request
the ranges to be automatically calculated by responding with
"auto". to enter ranges, the user types the extremes of the
range, smallest first, separated by a comma. only one range
may be entered per line. up to 50 ranges may be entered.
after the last range has been entered, the user types a
^z(control z).

command: type
--------------
purpose: type selected variables on the terminal.
description: the "type" command allows the user to display data on
the terminal. when asked for the variables, the user responds by
listing the desired variables on a line separated by commas.
variables may be entered using either variable names (if names
have been defined) or variable numbers. ranges of variables may
be specified by listing the extremes of the range separated by a
"-". where all variables are to be printed, use a "*" instead of
variable names or numbers. the "print" command is also available
in cases where the output to the terminal would be excessive.

command: xtab
--------------
purpose: produce cross tabs (output is in the form of ordered pairs)
description: the "xtab" command allows the user to tabulate one or
more cross tabs. the user will first be asked if he desires
percentages, to which the response must be a "yes" or "no".
cross tabs may be produced for the following:
(1) a single variable vs a single variable
(2) a single variable vs all other variables
(3) all variables vs all variables
when instructed to enter the cross tabs, the user lists up
to 20 cross tabs separated by semicolons. each cross tab is
composed of two variables separated by a comma. to indicate the
variables, either variable names (if names have been defined) or
variable numbers may be used. where all variables are to be
used, a "*" may be substituted for the variable names or numbers.
the results will be adjusted in size for output to terminal or
line printer. if a tabled version of the cross tab is desired
see the command "xtab*".
note: positive and negative numbers as well as multiple digit numbers
may be processed with this command.

command: zscor
---------------
purpose: calculate z-scores.
reference: "basic statistical methods", downe and heath, pages 60-61.
description: the "zscor" command allows the user to calculate
z-scores for one or more variables. when instructed, the user
lists the variables separated by commas for which z-scores are to
be calculated. up to 40 variables may be listed using either
variable names (if names have been defined) or variable numbers.
ranges of variables may also be indicated by typing the extremes
of the range separated by a "-". where z-scores are to be
calculated for all variables, a "*" may be substituted for the
variable names and numbers. frequencies will be included in the
output for the user's convenience.
example:
which command? zscor
which variable: height
***** z scores for variable: heigh *****
