Summary This paper describes a program for the analysis of multiway tables of quantitative and quantal data with disproportionate frequencies by fitting additive parameters. For quantitative data the parameters are obtained by the inversion of the coefficient matrix of the normal equations. Quantal values are first transformed by the logit transformation and a similar iterative procedure is used. Various systems of parameters can be fitted; their standard errors and an analysis of variance table are provided. Input can be from magnetic or paper tape and in certain cases complete tables are not required. An example of the analysis of quantal data by the program concludes the paper.
