Abstract: COSAP is an integrated system of over two dozen
programs, which used most of the features (virtual core,
matrix, facilities, etc.) of BASIC-PLUS.
 
COSAP will perform twelve different statistical
analyses: elementary statistics, histogram construction,
Student's tests, rank correlation, multiple Pearsonian
product-moment correlation, simple regression, multiple
regression, polynomial regression, step-wise regression,
discriminant analysis, factor analysis, and probit
analysis.
 
COSAP also includes a uniform format for data input and
storage for all analyses, the ability to save input data
on disk for later analyses, storage for descriptive
DATABANK and variable labels, comprehensive data editing
and transformation routines, and conversational
"help" messages to assist the user who is uncertain
of the input requirements for an analysis.
 
Notes: It is suggested that the manual be ordered.
