Hi!  :-)

All of these really are not all that hard to write.  I'd
suggest going to the library and checking out a book on
SPSS (The Statistical Package for Social Sciences).  All of
the SPSS books I've ever seen have complete programs laid
out in them on how to perform these routines.  Most of them
are no more than about twenty lines of code.

Other than that - you should really go to Yahoo! and do a
search on these.  I'm sure there are at least one or two
pages which university professors have put up which should
have these programs on them.  You'd probably have more luck
doing that than asking a group of MacPerl programmers for
this.  :-)

(Not that MacPerl programmers don't do statistical analysis
- just that in the broad band of applications which Perl
will do statistical analysis is only a small slice of that
spectrum.)

And no - I don't have these routines written.  However, I
_have_ helped people with SPSS before and had to read the
books on it.  Which is why I say the routines are already
written for you (in basic or fortran) and they are easily
converted over to Perl (or MacPerl).
