MICROSTAT: An Interactive Statistical Package for Microcomputers

J. Burdeane Orris, Butler University

Abstract

With the rapid growth of microcomputers in the last few years there has been an increasing need for statistical software for such systems. A typical microcomputer consists of a CRT display, keyboard, central processing unit, random access memory, and one or two minidisk drives. The MICROSTAT system was developed especially for such a system, yet it offers much of the power and flexibility of statistical packages designed for larger computers.
