..^U:CBM.. STATISTICS ANALYZER..
BY IAN ADAM.. STATISTICS
IS ONE OF THOSE.SCIENCES THAT IS NOT ON
LY DIFFICULT.TO UNDERSTAND, BUT DIFFICUL
T TO SAY..LIKE OPHTHALMOLOGY. LUCKILY F
OR US,.STATISTICS IS A NATURAL FOR.COMPU
TERIZING. STATISTICS ANALYZER.WILL BARE
LY SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF.THE SCIENCE OF
STATISTICS BUT THE.PART IT SCRATCHES IS
DIRECTLY.APPLICABLE TO EVERYDAY LIFE AN
D IS.WELL WORTH KNOWING. IT ALSO HELPS
TO.SEE WHAT IS GOING ON, AND THIS.PROGRA
M SHOWS IT TO US GRAPHICALLY... FOR M
ORE DETAILS THAN I CAN GIVE.YOU IN THIS
ARTICLE, YOU MAY WANT TO.CONSULT THE ART
ICLE IN COMMODORE.MAGAZINE, JUNE 1988...
GENERALLY, STATISTICS IS THE.SCIENCE
OF GATHERING LARGE AMOUNTS OF.DATA AND
DRAWING CERTAIN SPECIFIC.CONCLUSIONS FRO
M IT. IF YOU PLOT.THESE CONCLUSIONS ON
A BAR GRAPH,.CALLED A HISTOGRAM, YOU CAN
ACTUALLY.'SEE' THE STATISTICS. THERE A
RE TWO.TYPES OF HISTOGRAMS SHOWN IN THIS
.PROGRAM, THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION (OR.BE
LL CURVE) AND THE POISSON.DISTRIBUTION (
FOR RANDOM EVENTS)..... BY THE WAY, T
HIS PROGRAM WORKS IN.EITHER THE 64 OR 12
8 MODE. IN THE.128 MODE YOU CAN EVEN SE
E IT IN 80.COLUMN MODE. THE PROGRAM.AUT
OMATICALLY ADJUSTS TO THE.CONFIGURATION
OF THE COMPUTER... YOU CAN INPUT AS M
ANY ITEMS TO BE.ANALYZED AS YOU WISH, UP
TO ABOUT.500. IF YOU WANT TO ENTER MOR
E, YOU.CAN CHANGE THE VARIABLE MP IN LIN
E.500 TO A HIGHER NUMBER. BE.FOREWARNED
THAT NUMBERS LARGER THAN.100 OR SO WILL
TAKE SOME TIME TO.ANALYZE... WHEN YOU
SEE THE MENU, THE FIRST.THING YOU SHOUL
D DO IS CREATE A DATA.FILE.. YOU WILL
BE PROMPTED THROUGH ANY.OF THE OPTIONS A
VAILABLE, MOST OF.WHICH ARE SELF-EXPLANA
TORY. OFTEN.YOU'LL BE PROMPTED TO ANSWE
R P OR S,.TO SIGNIFY WHETHER YOU WANT TH
E.OUTPUT OF THE PROGRAM TO BE SENT TO.TH
E PRINTER OR THE SCREEN. THE.PROGRAM WI
LL REMEMBER THE LAST ANSWER.AS A DEFAULT
SO IF YOU'RE PRINTING TO.THE SCREEN AND
ANSWER S, THE NEXT.TIME YOU CAN JUST PR
ESS RETURN AND.THE OUTPUT WILL GO TO THE
SCREEN... CHOICE #8, ANALYZE DATA IS
THE.OPTION THAT DOES THE MOST WORK..AFT
ER YOU HAVE ALL OF THE DATA.ENTERED, ENT
ER 8 AND YOU'LL SEE SOME,.ER, STATISTICS
ON YOUR DATA. AN.EXPLANATION OF EACH T
ERM IS IN ORDER.. THE FIRST TWO ARE T
HE NAME OF THE.DATA FILE AND THE NUMBER
OF PIECES OF.DATA. THE NEXT THREE LINES
SHOW THE.SMALLEST AND LARGEST ENTRIES,
AND THE.DIFFERENCE OF THE TWO, OR THE RA
NGE.OF THE DATA... THE MEAN IS SIMPLY
THE AVERAGE OF.THE DATA, WHICH IS TYPIC
ALLY THE.CENTER OF THE BELL CURVE...
THE VARIANCE MEASURES THE."SCATTER" OF T
HE DATA AROUND THE.CENTER. THE STANDARD
DEVIATION IS.THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE VAR
IANCE AND.REPRESENTS THE AVERAGE SCATTER
..THESE CALCULATIONS ARE BASED UPON AN.A
SSUMPTION THAT THE DATA IS A SAMPLE,.RAT
HER THAN A COMPLETE CENSUS.. THE COEF
FICIENT OF VARIATION IS.THE PERCENTAGE O
F SCATTER, FOUND BY.DIVIDING THE STANDAR
D DEVIATION BY.THE MEAN... THE 2/3 IN
TERVAL IS A RANGE THAT,.IN A TYPICAL BEL
L CURVE, CONTAINS.TWO-THIRDS OF THE DATA
POINTS..ONE-THIRD TO THE LEFT OF THE ME
AN,.ONE-THIRD TO THE RIGHT... THE 95%
INTERVAL IS A STANDARD.DEVIATION TO THE
LEFT AND A STANDARD.DEVIATION TO THE RI
GHT, WHICH, WITH.NORMAL DISTRIBUTION, WI
LL CONTAIN 95%.OF THE DATA POINTS...
GOT ALL THAT?.. THERE IS A SUB-MENU F
OR THE.ANALYSIS. THE FIRST OPTION LETS
YOU.SEE THE ANALYSIS AGAIN. OPTION #2,.
LIST DATA BY CLASS, LETS YOU SEE HOW.THE
DATA ENTRIES ARE DISTRIBUTED.THROUGHOUT
THE RANGE. THE CLASSES.YOU SEE ARE THE
DEFAULT VALUES. TO.CHANGE THE VALUES O
F THESE CLASSES,.CHOOSE OPTION #3 AND YO
U CAN SELECT.THE NUMBER OF CLASSES, THE
START OF.THE CLASS, AND THE WIDTH OR INC
REMENT.OF EACH CLASS... OPTION #4 WIL
L SHOW YOU THE.PICTURE, OR HISTOGRAM, OF
THE CURVE..THIS WILL TELL YOU IF YOU AR
E DEALING.WITH A BELL CURVE OR NOT....
THE COLLECTIVE HISTOGRAM, ALSO.KNOWN A
S THE "OGIVE", SHOWS THE SUM.OF ALL DATA
POINTS UP TO AND.INCLUDING EACH CLASS.
THIS WILL TELL.YOU "HOW MANY OF THE ENT
RIES ARE.LARGER THAN X?" OR "WHAT DO I N
EED TO.BE IN THE TOP TEN PERCENT?"..
YOU CAN MOVE BETWEEN THE TWO.MENUS AS YO
U WISH, CHANGING DATA OR.CLASSES AND THE
PROGRAM WILL KEEP.TRACK OF THE STATISTI
CS. THE LAST.TWO CHOICES ON THE MAIN ME
NU WILL.SHOW YOU THE NORMAL AND POISSON.
