Updated (4/19/01)  EXE Utilities are now available for fully automated use of LISREL 8 and EQS 5.6 with NORM.  Click here for details:

        LISREL (NORMLIS)
        EQS (NORMEQS)
        Mplus (v. 2  NORM-MPlus)

        SPSS (NORMSPSS)
                The following provide a new (not necessarily better) way to use SPSS regression with NORM
                 imputed datasets

                    norm2mi.exe
                    selectif.sps
                    space.exe
                    spssinf.bat
                    minfer.exe

ALPHNORM (Exploratory Data analysis:   Coefficient Alpha, and set up for SAS PROC FACTOR)
                        NOTE:   ALPHNORM works in the DOS environment.

    Summary:  Alphnorm is a utility that works with the EM output (EM.PRM) from Joe's NORM program (version 2.0x)
                    (1)   The current version of ALPHNORM reads in the file EM.PRM, and allows the user to perform Coefficient alpha (standardized)
                    with any subset of the variables for which EM was run.  The output includes scale alpha, along with alpha-if-item-deleted
                    based on the EM covariance matrix.

                    (2) ALPHNORM also writes out a covariance matrix that is readable with SAS,
                    along with the SAS code for reading the file in.  Sample code for PROC FACTOR is given, along with
                    sample code for PROC REG (use with caution because sample size is arbitrary).

                    (3) The utility also produces a covariance matrix (in 6F12.7 format) that is useful with LISREL, EQS and other
                    programs. (this program produces a vector of means, then the full covariance matrix, both in 6F12.7 format)

Revised (6/4/01)   alphni4.exe  version 1.04.   Single Precision version.  Current limitations:  110 variables in
                                               EM.PRM, 20 items per alpha analysis.  This version does not exit
                                               DOS at the conclusion of every run.

                    alphni3.exe  (version 1.03).  This version does exit DOS after ever run, but may work better in some
                                                                 instances
