Described is a computer program that uses an interesting matrix method to generate Pythagorean triples. Program listings and output for two programs are included. (MNS)

A general purpose computer program for the calculation of a matrix of tetrachoric correlations is described. This program was developed for use in adaptive (and other) testing research for examining the unidimensionality assumption in latent trait theory, in conjunction with available factor analysis programs. Several other potential applications,…

Described and listed herein with concomitant sample input and output is the Fortran IV program which estimates parameters and standard errors of estimate per parameters for parameters estimated through multiple matrix sampling. The specific program is an improved and expanded version of an earlier version. (Author/BJG)
