Abstract
Interactive statistical programs have been developed at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas (UTHSCD) to handle the common as well as special statistical data analysis needs in medical research. UTHSCD-ISP is user-friendly; it can be accessed from a CRT terminal with a minimum of prior instruction. The user can step through the program by answering questions with a one word response (“yes,” “no,” etc.) or with a code number to designate a specific response. Data are entered interactively or called from an existing file. Information regarding the appropriate statistical analysis choice is given when alternative analyses are provided. Significance levels or references to tables are given and references for further reading are listed. Graphical output is included with several of the programs and the results can be obtained in printed form at the option of the user. Currently, the UTHSCD-ISP programs are available on the DEC-10 and DEC-20 computers.
