SPC EXpert 2.0s Quality Software Designs, Inc. $40 #20166 [2 disks] automates the statistical and graphical tools used in statistical process control, total quality management and other process improvement techniques. It constructs, analyzes and interprets eight types of control charts, both attributes and variables. It constructs bar graphs, pie charts, Pareto diagrams, histograms, frequency polygons, and Ogives. It also constructs and analyzes scatter diagrams. Hard disk required. Stat and Math Turbo Pascal 5.X Libraries Norton Associates $35 #2650 contains 30 elementary statistical and 19 mathematical subprograms, and provides a suite of statistical routines for scientific application development. The Math Unit and Pascal intrinsic function provide total capability of Fortran-77 intrinsic math functions, except for complex math. StatHelp Hawkeye Softworks ASP $20 #4283 is a set of statistical related programs. WatStat tells you which statistical procedure to use, based on the data, design, and analytical focus that you specify. LookUp performs five tests: z, t, F, Chi-Square and Binomial. Rando generates several types of random numbers for sampling, simulations, etc. Statistical Analysis Johnson, Paul $28 #4867 is a set of programs for calculating a variety of statistics. This package provides routines for normal probabilities, descriptive statistics for key-entered data and a retrieved data file, 3rd and 4th standardized moments, sample skewness (measures symmetry), kurtosis (measures heaviness of tails), generating uniform random numbers and standard normal random variables, sorting data into ascending order, assigning integer ranks, bessel function, binomial probabilities, correlation coefficient between two variables, linear regression, Boxcox transformation to normality, sample size determination, regression, difference and ratio estimation, and more. Survey Power 2.0 Wisco Computing ASP $42 #4032 is designed to create, analyze, and print out results to surveys, questionnaires, and opinion polls. You can create surveys with single choice, multiple choice, rank order, and numeric questions. Survey Power can perform complete demographic and correlation analyses of all responses. Any analysis can be printed or saved to disk as an ASCII file. SurvWare Compstat Software $50 #2308 is designed for tabulating and analyzing opinion surveys with up to 50 multiple-choice questions with up to 10 possible responses for each. Up to 10 of the questions can be used to analyze the survey based on demographic groupings. The user interface is not very slick nor easy to follow the first time through, but the program seems to perform its intended function as advertised. The number of questionnaires the program can analyze is limited only by the amount of disk space available from where the program was started. Requires 384k and CGA compatible video. TOUR Jarvis, Jonathan $? #27601/3902 [3 disks] will help find the most efficient route for a salesman who must visit a number of locations, each of them only once, and then return home. The program is so flexible and powerful that it can solve the Knight's Tour (a chess puzzle in which the Knight must legally move to every square on the board once and only once). A Fuzzy Links option creates sets of cities within a fuzzy tolerance distance from line segments of a long chain. An overlay program is provided, as well as on-line help. 2 meg of free hard disk space is required. The Thinker Elliott, Alan C. $25 #27389/1379 is a spreadsheet program similar in command structure to 1-2-3, but limited to 26 columns and 125 rows. It allows you to enter numbers and text on the screen, and define mathematical relationships between the numbers. Once these relationships are defined, you may change some numbers, and the program will automatically recalculate the related numbers. It can be used for financial modeling, budget calculations, scientific calculations, and more. Vision Freeware Vision Information Services $0 #27389/2067 is a set of programs that do various math functions: convert decimals to fractions; generates the factorial of a number; factors a number or declares it a prime; gives all prime factors of a factorial; gives Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers; reduces fractions. An 80*87 is supported but not required. XY 1.3b Klein, Jack B. $25 #27389/269 does curve fitting, plots points on the screen or printer. 8087 version is also available. XYPlot Arnold, David $25 #27389/1744 may be used as a stand-alone program to display fully calibrated XY graphs of data from any source that can generate data files in the "fixed length record" format, such as database programs, accounting programs, sequential files generated in BASIC, etc. Data may also be input manually. The maximum number of data points is 1500. XYPlot is a useful tool for engineering, sales, marketing, etc. applications. The display resolution is 640x350 on EGA, 640x200 on CGA. VeCalc Fraundorf, P. $0 #3183 is a calculator for work with one-dimensional vectors, profiles or spectra rather than with numbers. It uses a visible four level stack, hierarchical pop-down menus, and four memories to buffer input and output of profiles from ASCII files on disk. The stack paradigm allows tools from statistics, image and Fourier analysis, calculus and DifEq, and physics analysis. WL Plot 2.31 [WLPLT231] Loewer, Wesley B. $25 #12471 (09-93 CD) plots Algebraic or RPN functions in cartesian, parametric, and polar modes with linear or log scales. It graphs rotated conic sections, integrals, 1st and 2nd derivatives, non-function relations, bifurcations, recursive relations and best fit curves. ZGRAPH for DOS 7.0 Jakob, John $10 #4575 allows you to create, display, and print X/Y, Polar, Log, Bar, Pie, and Area graphs. The program will also graph 2-D functions/expressions. (The Windows version of this program is on disk #4457.) ]]]]]
