Software for information transfer and SINFA analysis

[Stuart Rosen <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was recently reminded that I had promised on this list some time ago to
make available our suite of programs for conditional (sequential - SINFA)
and unconditional information transfer analysis. A DOS version of this is
now available on:

ftp://pitch.phon.ucl.ac.uk/pub/fix/

A short description follows.

Yours - Stuart

P.S. That's one New year's resolution out of the way!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

FIX (Feature Information Xfer) is a set of programs designed to facilitate
analysis of confusion matrices by both ordinary and sequential information
transfer analysis (SINFA - Wang & Bilger, 1973, JASA, 54[5] 1248-1266).

The programs may be menu-driven, or run as stand-alone modules. These
executables run under MS-DOS on an IBM PC or clone. The programs have also
been used under UNIX on a MASSCOMP 5/6000 series computer. Source code may
be made available for users with special needs.

The software is available via anonymous FTP free of charge but with
copyright retained by UCL.
