Abstract
The authors describe computer programs that deal with the statistical analysis of family reconstitution data. They "have used a general statistical package Statistical Analysis System (SAS) which is widely available. It has been possible to produce all the standard tables used in the classic monographs in historical demography and to retain the flexibility and power of a general statistical package....The SAS programs presented here were developed in 1983 at the University of Texas at Austin and were tested and employed at the University of Liege (Belgium). The programs were applied to more than 3600 reconstituted families from nineteenth-century Eastern Belgium with great success." (EXCERPT)
期刊介绍:
Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
