Here is a LIMDEP program to compute descriptive statistics and run a simple regression using the same data set that is employed by SHAZAM in a previous handout.

read; nvar=2
    ; nobs=14
    ; names=income,expend
    ; file=mpc.dat $
 
dstats; rhs=* $
? LIMDEP does not provide an automatic constant term so we have to create one
create; one=1 $
regress; lhs=expend; rhs=one,income $

Here is what these LIMDEP commands produce for you:
