Abstract

Multivariate clinical research data gathered longitudinally and extensively poses many data analytic and processing problems. This presentation shows how unique interactive networks, using the command procedures, available with ordinary commercial time-sharing processors such as TSO, can be developed to link a variety of data types, special purpose programs, proprietary packages, outlist files, partitioned data files, control files, index files, and tutorial information libraries. The procedures are modular and easily modified to include special needs. Because of their commercial utilizations, such modular networks have great generality, are relatively inexpensive, and are readily exportable.
