Abstract
Scientific research has changed quite a bit since the early 1970s, in large part because computers and computer software packages have been dropping in price and have become progressively easier to use and more powerful. But while the packages have gotten easier to invoke, many researchers are still uncomfortable with them, because they don’t have much understanding of what this software is really doing, and they can check neither the validity of the assumptions used to justify the data processing, nor the resulting conclusions.
