.TH BMD08V I .UC .SH NAME bmd08v \- Analysis of Variance .SH SYNOPSIS .B bmd08v .SH DESCRIPTION .I Bmd08v performs analysis of variance for any hierarchical design with equal cell sizes. This includes the nested, partially nested and partially crossed, and fully crossed designs. Separate analyses may be performed on several dependent variables simultaneously. .I Bmd08v takes its input from the standard input and writes its results on the standard output. All bmd control cards must have the identifying field in upper case (eg. PROBLM, INDEX, FINISH, etc.). One important departure from previous versions concerns the variable format card \- it is no longer necessary! If you specify 0 for the number of variable format cards, the data will be assumed to be in "free format" \- items separated by blanks or commas. .SH EXAMPLES In the first example, .I data contains the bmd control cards and the input data. Output is directed to the standard output. .sp bmd08v <data .sp In the second example, .I prefix contains the initial bmd control cards, .I data contains the input data, and .I finish contains the FINISH card (many users prefer not to contaminate their data files). Output is directed to file .BR output . .sp cat prefix data finish | bmd08v >output .SH FILES /tmp/1????? temporary file .br /tmp/2????? temporary file .SH "SEE ALSO" BMD User's Guide, /usr/doc/bmd08v .SH BUGS Temporary files are not always scratched.
