DEVELOPMENT OF ENHANCED MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR COMPLEX SAMPLE SURVEYS

TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, INC., WILL MODIFY AND ADAPT EXISTING MAINFRAME TECHNOLOGY FOR VARIANCE ESTIMATION IN COMPLEX SURVEYS TO A SELF-CONTAINED VERSION IMPLEMENTED BY PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC) TECHNOLOGY IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE USE OF THE PROGRAMS AT LIMITED COST. THE CONFIGURATION INVOLVES AN EXPERT SHELL TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF COMPUTATION TASKS AND THE VERSATILITY OF THE PROGRAMS IN A PERSONAL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE. BY PROPER PARTITIONING OF THE PROGRAMS STRUCTURE INTO MODULES, PROPER ADAPTATION CAN BE DONE WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS OR SACRIFICING ANY OF THE CAPABILITIES OR ACCURACY OF THE PROCEDURES. GENERALLY, THE PROPOSED SCHEME IS BASED ON UTILIZATION OF THE FEATURES OF EXISTING PC SAMPLE SURVEY PROGRAMS (SUCH AS PC CARP), EPITOMIZATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMS, AND IMPROVEMENT ON THE SYSTEM LOGIC DESIGN. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO OPTIMIZATION OF THE PERFORMANCE BY BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE MEMORY AND SPACE, AND THE INTRODUCTION OFMEANS FOR EFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL SPEED AND ACCESS.
