Multivariate Methods in Plant Ecology: The use of an Electronic Digital Computer for Association-Analysis

Abstract
The method of association-analysis suggested in a previous communication (J. Ecol. 47(1): 83-101. 1959) has now been programmed, with minor modifications, for a Ferranti "Pergasus" digital computer. The chief features of the program are described, and results are presented illustrating its application to 4 plant communities of increasing complexity.
