TERPED: a versatile code for examining the distribution of experimental data. [In FORTRAN-X for PDP-10]
TERPED is a computer code designed to facilitate the quantitative analysis of experimental data and to determine the data's frequency distribution. This code differs from its predecessor, TEDPED, primarily in two respects: First, TERPED performs many bookkeeping functions that were left to the user in the predecessor, resulting in less restricitve user prompts. Second, plots may be either displayed on a local graphics terminal or relayed to a remote device. Thus, the user may use TERPED to analyze data and generate a compressed plot data set, then choose to preview the plot locally and/or route the compressed data set to a remote FR-80 35-mm film plotter or a Calcomp plotter for high quality graphical output. The code produces graphical and numerical descriptions of a set of input data based upon the user's assumption of either a normal or lognormal distribution. Options include calculations of the chi-squared statistic, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov non-parametric statistic, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The plots produced are of the linearized cumulative-probability data distribution. Data may be by named data file or via the user's terminal keyboard. The code is written in FORTRAN and runs on a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-10 computer; typical central-processor-unit execution time is about 0.32 s, exclusive of plotting time. The code size is about 1300 card images.
