Revised Computer Programs for Tree-Ring Research

Abstract

Three computer programs that are basic to the processing and development of tree -ring chronologies are now available. They were designed to refine and replace older programs that were previously furnished by the laboratory. Program RWLIST replaces program RWLST and is used for data inspection. Programs INDEX and SUMAC replace INDXA. INDEX is used for curve fitting procedures while SUMAC does summaries of series of indices, analysis of variance and cross-correlation. The new programs represent an increase in efficiency and flexibility in use. They are written in current ANSI Fortran IV and will be readily adaptable to most computing environments.
