Book

The original SDIS-GSEQ programs (versions 1.1 and 1.2 for DOS) were distributed on a floppy disk together with this book:

About the book:

"Psychologists, educators, animal behaviorists, and other researchers who observe and study sequences of behavior have found Bakeman and Gottman's Observing Interaction helpful in planning their research and analyses. Now its companion volume, Analyzing Interaction, provides the practical underpinnings needed to carry out the sorts of sequential analyses suggested by the earlier book. First, the authors introduce a simple notational scheme for sequential data (SDIS or Sequential Data Interchange Standard). They then discuss basic sequential statistics, elaborating and extending the material presented in Observing Interaction. Two computer programs are included with the book on a floppy diskette for the IBM personal computer. The SDIS program checks and prepares sequential data for efficient analysis. Then the General Sequential Querier program (GSEQ) tallies sequential data into contingency tables designed by the user and computes a variety of sequential statistics."

Contents:

New book

A new book on sequential analysis and GSEQ 5.0 is currently in the making (May 2009). For now, the Help file in GSEQ 5.0 is an alternative source of information.
