This reference manual for the OpenStat software, an open-source software
developed by William Miller, covers a broad spectrum of statistical
methods and techniques. A unique feature is its compatibility with many
other statistical programs. OpenStat users are researchers and students
in the social sciences, education, or psychology, who benefit from the
hands on approach to Statistics. During and upon completion of courses
in Statistics or measurement, students and future researchers need a low
cost computer program available to them, and OpenStat fills this void.
The software is used in Statistics courses around the world with over
50,000 downloads per year. The manual covers all functions of the
OpenStat software, including measurement, ANOVAS, regression analyses,
simulations, product-moment and partial correlations, and logistic
regression. The manual is an important learning tool that explains the
Statistics behind the many analyses possible with the program and
demonstrates these analyses.
