title: Finding condensed descriptions for multi-dimensional data.
abstract: We describe two programs that may be used to find condensed descriptions for data available in a contingency table or in a covariance matrix in the case that these data follow a multinomial or a multivariate normal distribution, respectively. The programs perform a stepwise model search among multiplicative models by computing appropirate likelihood-ratio test statistics.
