I am not familiar with the Minitab coding schemes. I have never used
Minitab.
To get some insight, I went thru "1. Generate X,Y Data With Desired n
and r". I see some basic FORTRAN in the I/O and early BASIC (dark ages
BASIC) in the statements. Noted an error. The line "cent c3 c6, c12
13" should be "cent c5 c6, c12 c13".
Otherwise, the lines seem pretty obvious as to what is going on. I
don't see extensive use of functions and subroutines which are the
basis for modern programming. They would really reduce much of your
coding.
Are you doing all calculations in double precision or single
precision?
To go through and find other errors would be a prohibitive task for
me.
I am glad that I don't have to teach in your "summer cottage". The
lecture halls must be dreadful. I remember my psych 1 course in a huge
(1000 seat capacity and it was filled) auditorium.
