A program has been written to compute life tables with fittings to the Coale and Demeny West, and Weiss table survivorships for the purposes of comparison between populations. A graphics option allows for the plotting of the various life table functions, thus allowing for the immediate assessment of the patterns indicated by the life table columns.
A program has been written to determine T-score profile patterns, thus allowing the immediate assessment of morphological similarities and differences between taxa. For a given data set, the program will produce T-scores, T-score correlation coefficients and associated significance statistics, weighted means and standard deviations for all input variables, and a graphic display of the T-score profile pattern(s). This program should prove to be of great interest to physical anthropologists, zoologists and other researchers in the life sciences with an interest in taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny.
