We propose a method allowing the automatic exploitation of radioimmunoassay results. The standard curve is calculated according to two models; a linear model by Logit-Log transformation of data and another one using Fisher's orthogonal polynomials. The computer programs are written in FORTRAN IV.

β¦ Synopsis
Many biological phenomenon are nonlinear and poorly approximated by linear regression. The program POLFIT calculates curvilinear regressions by fitting of orthogonal polynomials. This program, as well as two supporting programs (CORREC: disk storage, and CALCML: calculation of cumulated values of series of observations), was primarily designed for the study of the temporal organization of sleep components. They can be used as well for any other kind of biological data.

A fast, short method for calculating orthogonal polynomials has been programmed in BASIC. This is combined with the retrieval of b coefficients for the original, non-orthogonal model in, for example, a curvilinear regression. The program may be used alone, or in conjunction with a package of BASIC p
There is an increasing need for statistical analysis of the electrical activity of the brain (EEG) especially with regard to its relationships to other parameters of cerebral activity and metabolism. In the present study new techniques for EEG quantitation and for the measurement of regional cerebra
The pen of locomotive history has recorded little or nothing of practical value during the first twelve centuries of our era. Whether the announcement of M. Pambour, made in the year 1835, that "locomotive engines were the first of all engines," be true or not, we can refer with confidence to the w
