Review of "MASH, A Computer System for Microanalytic Simulation for Policy Exploration, by George Sadowsky", The Urban Institute, 1977

Abstract

The authors...describe this excellent book as a handbook rather than a text. That it is -and more. It is designed for the analyst who has received a set of completed survey schedules and is faced with processing them through a final statistical analysis... Another potential audience class is the computer scientist who is called upon to act as consultant or aide to the social scientist. The computer scientist who can absorb the background problems and common sense suggestions that are contained in the book will enhance many times over his value to the survey practitioner.
