CORANUM: A Program to Generate Correlated Gaussian Random Numbers.
Abstract
Research on intuitive inference and multiple-cue probability learning aims to study the adaptation of a decision maker to the probabilistic structure of his environment. In some cases, it is desirable to study the judge in a representative environment that embodies the relationships with which he is accustomed to dealing. In other words, it is important to vary the statistical structure according to a systematic plan. The present program was developed to provide stimuli for such experiments. It will provide up to 10 vectors of Gaussian numbers having predetermined means, standard deviations, and intercorrelations. The correlations produced match the specifications exactly, as opposed to representing a sample from a specified population. (Author)
