MULTIVAR

This program was used to create the data set for Chapter 3. The program is a multivariate random normal scores generator that uses the Box and Muller and Choleski Factorization algorithms. Click here to download the source code and executable versions of the program.

ALTMMR

This program is described in Chapter 4. It checks whether the homogeneity of error variance assumption has been violated and conducts a test for moderation using analyses other than MMR when there is a violation of the assumption.

CAQ

This program is described in Chapter 6. It administers questionnaires on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers by prompting respondents to indicate their answer by clicking on a graphic line segment displayed on the screen.

POWER

This program is described in Chapter 7. It estimates the statistical power to detect a dichotomous moderator variable using moderated multiple regression (MMR). It computes power for specified conditions of effect size (i.e., absolute difference between subgroup correlation coefficients), total sample size, and sample sizes in moderator-based subgroups.

MMRPWR

This program is described in Chapter 7. It estimates the statistical power to detect a dichotomous moderator variable with MMR specified conditions of effect size (i.e., absolute difference between subgroup correlation coefficients), total sample size, sample sizes in moderator-based subgroups, predictor-moderator intercorrelation, and predictor variable range restriction.

MMRPOWER

This program is described in Chapter 7 and Chapter 8. It estimates statistical power using a theory-based approximation. It can be used for moderators with more than 2 levels.
