This bibliography is divided into five sections. The first section cites bibliographies relevant to the study of word frequency, while the second section gives references to word lists. The third and fourth parts deal with general vocabulary studies and related articles, respectively. The fifth section concerns structural frequency counts, with…

An analysis of consumer, consumption, and family economics/household management research published in four journals from 1972-82 reveals a fairly even distribution of articles across the topic areas. The majority of the studies used survey methodology and multiple regression analysis. (SK)

Emphasis on broad-based institutional planning is largely a phenomenon of the seventies. One reason is that the value placed on it varied inversely with the availability of resources. Yet the state of the art of planning for change is not far advanced. There is evidence that those institutions doing this kind of planning tend to be private,…

The introduction to this selective bibliography on the use of computers in teaching statistics provides a brief review of the role of the computer in statistics; the role of statistical packages; how statistical packages should be used in instruction; science, statistics, and data analysis; and choice and evaluation of statistical packages. Items…

Canonical correlation analysis is a sophisticated multivariate technique that subsumes all parametric methods (the "t"-test, analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, multivariate analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of covariance, and discriminant analysis) as special cases. This bibliography lists 83 applications of…

Statistics tend to become interesting to non-methodologists when taught in a research context that is relevant to them. Real data sets supplemented by sufficient background information can provide just such a context. Despite this, many textbook authors and instructors of applied statistics rely on artificial data sets to illustrate statistical…

Brief descriptions are provided of general-purpose mathematical and statistical software, including 27 "stand-alone" programs, three subroutine systems, and two nationally recognized statistical packages, which are available in the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) software library. This index was created to enable researchers…

An attempt was made to determine who uses data from the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) and for what purposes. The study objective was to learn if HEGIS is a necessary and useful data base for determining the condition of higher education and developing policy. The quality of the HEGIS data perceived in terms of accuracy,…

Intended to serve as a model for those wishing to assist librarians in conducting research, this guide describes the funding sources and computing, consulting, writing, and other resources available to University of Colorado Boulder librarians who want to engage in research. Sources of funding to support research are listed first, including the…

The implications of a mathematical model of test scores are explored where the data are limited to a random sample of items without replacement from an indefinitely large population or item domain in which items are scored either zero or one. The purpose is to obtain an unbiased estimate of a student's proportion of items correct in the item…

Part 1 (SE 533 635) presented programs for use in mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. This part presents an annotated list of 64 additional programs, focusing on introductory geology, mapping, and statistical packages for geological analyses. A brief description, source, suggested use(s), programing language, and other information are…

The National Center for Education Statistics was established to develop and provide comprehensive statistics about education in the United States. Conducting and publishing specialized analyses, reviewing and reporting of educational activities in foreign countries, and providing assistance to State and local education agencies in improving their…

This bibliography contains works that illustrate and apply multivariate statistical methods in the analysis of empirical data in the field of urban and regional planning. The bibliography has been designed for use by planning students and the professional planner. The first section of the bibliography lists some elementary and intermediate level…
