SPECIAL-PURPOSE COMPUTER FOR STATISTICAL STUDIES.

Abstract

The article describes the development of a special-purpose computer for statistical studies with the following requirements: (1) It must possess high accuracy and great high speed operation, which will allow considering it a standard statistical measuring informational system; (2) It must have a universal input device, allowing the input of data (registered in graphic form on tapes of various width), the execution of direct data input without preliminary registration, and, finally, the execution of recording and subsequent data input on a magnetic tape; (3) It must determine statistical characteristics of certain classes of nonstationary random processes; and (4) It must determine not only auto- and mutual-correlation functions, but also mathematical expectations and spectral densities. The first computer will be of the form of a laboratory computer occupying an area of about 2 sq m and, being an experimental model, has four binary digits.
