Hello:

I am attempting to obtain multiple achievement outcome measures from
studies that have been done in education. I want to examine the
skewness and kurtosis properties of the distributions to determine the
extent to which the distributions deviate from a normal distribution.
A similar study was done my Micceri in 1989. The number of data-files
from each of the studies may be thirty or more and there will be a
number of outcome measures in each data-file. Would you recommend a
software package or method that would help me manage each of the data
files and perform analyses on them? I am not aware of a statistical
package that includes a file management component.

Any suggestions that you could provide would me greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
JM
