The SIN wave is represented by a series of "*"s, and the COS wave by "+"s. The unit spacing along the (θ and F(θ) axes is approximately equal. Multiples of Pi are indicated along the verticle axis. RestrictIom: SIN, COS and specialized use of TAB function necessary to run program.

Brent Dalrymple, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA Operating System: OS/8 Source Language: BASIC V.5A Memory RequIred: 12K Abstract: York 2 is a linear regression program that allows for errors in both X and Y and also for positive or negative correlation of the X and Y errors. The program accepts errors for each value of X and Y. If the errors are uncorrelated, the correlation coefficient (-1 <= R <= 1) may be set to zero. Input may be from the keyboard, a file, or paper tape, and the program has a variety of data editing features. Output consists of the slope, the intercept, the coordinates of the centroid, and six statistical parameters. The program uses the "least squares cubic" method of D. York, University of Toronto (York, 1969). The mathematics are identical to DECUS No. FOCAL8-315. Media Price Code: D2, G5 LAB 8 Evoked Potential Analysis Programs, Version: February 1978 BASIC8-106 Author: Glenn F. Wilson, Ph.D. and James Gregory, Wittenberg University, Springfield, OH 0peratiDg System: OS/8 Version III Source Language: BASIC Memory Required: 8K Other Software Required: OS/8 BASIC; DECUS No. BASIC-56 Overlay Special Hardware Required: LAB-8E System Abstract: Three Basic programs calibrate and analyze 250 point average evoked potential files created by the Advanced Averager. A 10 microvolt sine wave average is used to provide a standard for each channel of the files. Two cursors may be positioned along the curve, amplitude (base to peak and peak to peak) and latency values of these points are printed on the TTY in microvolts and milliseconds, respectively. The averages may be plotted on a parallel X-Y plotter. Averages can be "averaged" and subtracted from one another. Media Price Code: D2, GS Age Difference Probability Calculation, Version: February 1978 BASIC8-107 Author: G.

Given a list of values and their standard deviations, P will be calculated for all possible pairs of values. Data may be input from the keyboard or from any OS/8 device. The program contains features for editing and adding data. Media Price Code: D2, G5
