Annotated Example from Chapter 2 of the |STAT Handbook Copyright 1986 Gary Perlman A concrete example with several |STAT programs is worked in detail. The example shows the style of analysis in |STAT. New Users of |STAT should not try to understand all the details in the examples. Details about all the programs can be found in the online manual entries and more examples of program use appear in other chapters of the Handbook. The example is based on a familiar problem: grades in a course based on two midterm exams and a final exam. Scores on exams are broken down by student gender and by the lab section taught by one of two teaching assistants: John or Jane. The data are in the file exam.dat. Each line in exam.dat contains a student ID number, the student's teaching assistant, the students gender, and scores (out of 100) on the midterms and final. We will compute final grades based on the exam scores, compare male and female students, and compare the two teaching assistants. The annotations in chapter 2 of the Handbook will provide more details.
