Abstract: 

When it became apparent that many practical problems could not be solved by the standard procedures, a developmental effort began which combined the conceptual power of a prediction model approach with the computational power of high speed computers. A series of short courses were developed to introduce researchers to the new capabilities brought about through the combination of effective application of regression models with computing techniques.
