A program for calculating Kendall's tau-a, tau-b, partial tau, coefficient of concordance, coefficient of consistence, and coefficient of agreement is presented. In addition, the program provides tests of significance for each of the coefficients except partial tau. (DG)

This nonparametric analysis of variance program includes the Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, and Cochran methods. (DG)

Maximum likelihood estimates of the free parameters, and an asymptotic likelihood-ratio test, are given for the hypothesis that one or more elements of a covariance matric are zero, and/or that two or more of its elements are equal. (Author/RC)

Describes a set of five programs providing robust techniques that work well when the assumption of conventional analysis of variance have been violated. (Author/RC)

Describes the MANOVA (multivariate analysis of variance) Computer Program for ascertaining whether k groups differ significantly from one another on p dependent variables. (Author/RC)

There are good reasons for the growing popularity of Monte Carlo procedures; but with increasing use comes increasing misuse. A variety of exact and approximate alternatives should be considered before one chooses to approach a problem with Monte Carlo methods. Once it has been decided that simulation is desirable, consideration should be given to…

The program with extensive annotation is available in an unpublished dissertation (Schabert, 1970). (Authors)

The original nine programs for semantic differential analysis have been condensed into three programs which have been further refined and augmented. They yield: (1) means, standard deviations, and standard errors for each subscale on each concept; (2) Evaluation, Potency, and Activity (EPA) means, standard deviations, and standard errors; (3)…

Part and bi-partial canonical correlations were developed by extending the definitions of part and bi-partial correlation to sets of variates. These coefficients may be used to help researchers explore relationships which exist among several sets of normally distributed variates. (Author)

Considerable thought, research, and concern has been expanded in an effort to determine whether the assumption of a quadratic relation between a single predictor and a criterion violated the assumptions which Johnson and Neyman (1936) state for calculating regions of significance about interacting regressions. In particular, there has been special…

Compares three methods of analyzing pairwise treatment differences in a multi-treatment experiment via computer simulation techniques. Under the equal n condition, the robustness of the conventional Tukey Wholly Significant Difference test (WSD) to heterogeneous variances was contrasted with two alternate techniques. Under unequal n conditions,…
