Cumulative Index to the Applied Statistics Algorithms

We present an index of all the algorithms which have been published in Applied Statistics between 1968 and 1991 inclusive. The algorithms have been classified using a modified version of the GAMS (Guide to Available Mathematical Software) Problem Classification Scheme, given by Boisvert et al., which has been considerably expanded especially in the statistical area. GAMS is a variable depth classification scheme. The first character, which is always a capital letter, gives the major subject area, further subdivisions are recursively denoted by alternating numbers and lower case letters. Thus, for example, D3a4 is in the main classification area of Linear Algebra (D), subarea Determinants (3), sub-subarea Real Nonsymmetric Matrices (a), sub-sub-subarea Sparse (4). The full classification list is reproduced. Information on how to obtain sources of the algorithms is also given.
