The Programming Environment for Statistical Tabulation (PEST) offers a unique approach to statistical computing by using an incomplete program that users extend with instructions. This system leverages Algol 68 for enhanced flexibility and power in statistical analysis.

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Statistical Computing

Background:

Traditional statistical software often uses complex parameter-driven programs.
The Programming Environment for Statistical Tabulation (PEST) was developed as an alternative approach.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce PEST, a novel system for statistical computing.
To highlight the advantages of using Algol 68 for statistical analysis.

Main Methods:

PEST utilizes an incomplete program structure requiring user-added instructions for analysis specification.
The system is implemented using the Algol 68 programming language.

Main Results:

PEST provides flexibility for both novice and experienced users.
Algol 68 enables powerful and accessible statistical computation within PEST.

Efficient Algol 68 compilers minimize compilation overhead.

Conclusions:

PEST offers a distinct and effective paradigm for statistical tabulation.
The choice of Algol 68 enhances the system's usability and power for statistical tasks.
