Abstract

This paper describes an electronic computer program for the analysis of multivariate data. The program is interactive in the sense that its control structure is designed to facilitate a step‐by‐step process of analysis extending over several computer runs. Especially comprehensive input routines allow the user flexibility in data presentation. A group structure can be imposed and within‐ and between‐group analyses are possible. The program includes all the usual multivariate techniques, but special attention has been paid to providing a wide repertoire of operations useful in multiple‐regression analysis.
