DETECT Program
DETECT for Windows® uses windows to tell DETECT what analyses to perform.
All the windows available in DETECT are described in the manual. The manual uses
single-level analysis and data set A as an example and also shows how to perform
multiple-relationship analysis. The actual program generated by DETECT for windows
for this analysis is listed at the beginning of the output listed below.

Interpretation
Wherever the interpretations in Chapter 5 indicate a need to look up a value,
DETECT for Windows® no longer requires it.

A note about DETECT
DETECT's practical significance indicators ( such as Cohen's eta squared)
are compatible with the report of the American Psychological Association Task
Force on Statistical Significance that effect sizes should "always"
be reported along with p values, and that "reporting and interpreting effect
sizes in the context of previously reported effects is essential to good research"
