This disk/textbook package combines a student version of the well-known Systat statistical analysis software (see SSCORE, 1990) with a hard-copy statistics text/workbook. The text (Data Analysis with Student Systat DOS Edition) was written by Ken neth N. Berk, a mathematician-statistician at Illinois State Uni versity. The Student Systat program features pull-down menus or command language interfaces (user option) and allows up to 100 vari ables and 32,000 cases with keyboard input or import from various file formats. Statistics include a full range of descriptive measures and inferential tests, including measures of association for tables, simple and multiple regression procedures, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and time series analysis. Graphics capabilities include histograms, box plots, stem-and-leaf diagrams, scatter plots, and 3-D rotating plots. These powerful graphics set the Student Systat program apart from its competitors.
