The advantages and disadvantages of the so called minicomputers (e.g. type NOVA) and microcomputers (e.g. type NR 95) are compared in their use for statistical analysis. In spite of some advantages - autonomy, possibilities for immediate use, etc. of microcomputers, the minicomputers, type NOVA, were established to enable the elimination of their non-specific work for the non-mathematical specialists, their direction to the most proper and complexly applied statistical method in the organized statistical processing, existing at the Institute of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases, hence the expenditures would be lower and reability - higher.
比较了所谓的小型计算机(如NOVA型)和微型计算机(如NR 95型)在用于统计分析时的优缺点。尽管微型计算机有一些优点——自主性、可立即使用等,但设立NOVA型小型计算机是为了消除非数学专业人员的非特定工作,将其导向卫生与职业病研究所现有组织统计处理中最恰当、应用最复杂的统计方法,因此费用会更低,可靠性会更高。
