Title: GENVAR: a general linear computer program for model forecasting and variance analysis. [In LRLTRAN for CDC 7600 computer]
Abstract: This report describes GENVAR, an interactive computer program which can perform a least-squares fit to the matrix equation ..beta..X = Y, where X is a matrix of observable inputs and Y is a vector of observable outcomes for the input values. The program is controlled by teletypewriter, and is written in LRLTRAN for compilation by CHAT and execution on a CDC 7600. The report describes the way the program operates as well as ways GENVAR can be used to make statistically considered forecasts. Samples of graphic output and the source code listing (GLMVAR) are provided. 2 figures, 3 tables.
