The usefulness of computers in data evaluation is generally recognized; however, the problem of utilizing a computer in the most intelligent manner deserves careful consideration. Several programs are described which aid in serum lipid and lipoprotein analysis. Two programs requiring a minimum of manual measurements have been developed to analyze gas‐liquid chromatograms. These programs perform many operations including erratums for baseline, linearity, Gaussian resolution, and variation in column conditions. The presentation in some detail of one of these programs for NCH elemental analysis illustrates the development and refinement of a program for a specific instrument. Finally, a general purpose statistical analysis program has been developed which greatly aids in summarizing and correlating data from these programs, as well as other sources, such as ultracentrifugal data.
