A computer program for the analysis of crossover designs.

We describe a program, CROSS, which we have written to obtain potency estimates and other parameters for bioassay data from assays of crossover design. The program permits testing of all assays for statistical validity and calculates the complete analysis of variance for assays of balanced design. The form of data input and the complete documentation of assay results make this program particularly useful for anyone carrying out crossover assays on a routine basis. The analysis of variance presented is also useful for more general biological or medical situations.
