[R 3.0 icon] What does VERNORM do ? VERNORM is a multiple-purpose program designed to be used at the beginning of the analysis of a data table. It has been created to answer general needs concerning input data files. Its name means VERify and NORMalize; it can transpose a matrix, reformat the data, add or remove object identifiers (although, on microcomputers, that function is more easily carried out by spreadsheet programs), draw histograms, divide variables into classes, standardize data, or transform them in various ways. VERNORM can handle missing values. Eliminating rows or columns from a data file can be done by spreadsheet programs, or through the editors of various types available on microcomputers; statistical analysis programs can be used to transform the data in ways not available in VERNORM.
