Descriptive Statistics MT 1.0 and Descriptive Statistics 4.0

The procedures in both Descriptive Statistics MT 1.0 and Descriptive Statistics 4.0 provide basic statistics for the variables in GAUSS data sets. These statistics describe and test univariate and multivariate features of the data and provide information for further analysis. Descriptive Statistics MT 1.0 is a new product that is thread-safe and takes advantage of structures, while Descriptive Statistics 4.0 is an update that is backwards compatible with programs written with Descriptive Statistics 3.1.

• Includes methods for analyzing and generating contingency tables and statistics for them.
  
• Includes new routine to compute multivariate skew and kurtosis.
  
• Includes new routine to compute descriptive statistics, including both univariate and multivariate skew and kurtosis.
  
• Includes support for variable names of up to 32 characters.
  
• Includes support for date variables where applicable.
  
• You can now choose between two report types-all variables in a single table or individual reports for each variable-and you can choose which statistics to include in the report and the order in which they appear.
  

Descriptive Statistics MT 1.0 and Descriptive Statistics 4.0 have methods for analyzing and generating contingency tables and producing statistics for them:

• Chi-Squared (Pearson and Likelihood Ratio)
  
• Phi
  
• Cramer's V
  
• Spearman s Rho
  
• Goodman-Krustal's Gamma
  
• Kendall's Tau-B
  
• Stuart s Tau-C
  
• Somer's D
  
• Lamda
  

Both also have methods for generating frequency distributions with statistics, skew and kurtosis, and tests for differences of means.

Platforms

Windows, LINUX and UNIX.

Requirements
