developing economies. The core interdisciplinary research programme has
three main foci: global warming, conservation of biological diversity, and
institutional adaptation to global environmental change. This web site

Ken Varnum & John Weise. Revised: December 14, 1994 This guide is designed
to serve as a central location for finding internet resources on statistical
computing. The authors state that, "We were guided by three criteria in the
process of researching and constructing this guide. The first priority was
to find resources dealing specifically with two of the most commonly used
statistical packages, SAS and SPSS. Second, we were looking for information
resources related to statistical computing in general, including such
statistical packages as BMDP, S, and LISREL, to name a few. Our third task
was to find information resources on statistics in general."
