520 |a This publication acquaints the user with microcomputer statistical packages and offers a method for evaluation based on a set of criteria that can be adapted to the needs of the user. Several popular packages, typical of those available, are reviewed in detail: (1) Abstat, an easy to use command driven package compatible with the IBM PC or the Apple II, can translate raw scores to z-scores; (2) Apple Interactive Data Analysis (AIDA) allows users to alter or program their own routines, using BASIC; (3) CRunch Interactive Statistical Package (CRISP), a menu-driven package for the IBM PC, has clear documentation; (4) Microstat, a menu-driven package for the IBM PC, is very easy to use; (5) Statistical Processing System (SPS), a menu-driven program, tends to have statistics favoring the natural sciences; and (6) Statistical Package for the Social/Sciences/Personal Computer Version (SPSS/PC) has retained the most important routines of the original SPSS. Examples of the basic command structure of statistics packages are offered in Appendix A. Appendix B, a compendium of microcomputer statistical resources, lists but does not evaluate important features of approximately one hundred programs. (GDC)
