AnimBehav

Simulated data follow relationships taken from the scientific
literature. You select which systems to use with your students.
"Logically organized and menu-driven ... of use as an ancillary
experience in an animal behavior course ... the program concept is
unique" (Choice, 1988). Data are displayed on a scatter-plot, which
can be printed. Analysis options include Regression & the
comparison of means, and data can be saved for further analysis.
