GENOVA Suite
Computer Programs
The GENOVA Suite of computer programs for generalizability theory consists of GENOVA, urGENOVA, and mGENOVA. The three programs are coordinated with Brennan (2001), which provides an extensive treatment of generalizability theory. Brennan (2001) can be purchased from the publisher, Springer-Verlag (www.springer-ny.com). It is strongly recommended that users of these programs consult Brennan (2001) in order to interpret the output accurately.
There are complied versions of GENOVA, urGENOVA, and mGENOVA for both Macintosh PowerPCs and DOS/Windows-based PCs. Each of the programs in the GENOVA Suite may be distributed to others without obtaining the permission of the author(s). The folders for each program contain a “readme” file, a manual in pdf format, the application, and at least one sample input file.
jGENOVA
jGENOVA1 was developed in Eclipse and requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of 1.8 or higher. The
jGENOVA1.exe was created by Laun4j. jGENOVA1 can only be executed on a Windows computer with a JRE of 1.8 or higher.

GENOVA
GENOVA is a ANSI FORTRAN computer program for univariate generalizability analyses with complete, balanced designs. It has both G study and D study capabilities. GENOVA was designed by R. L. Brennan and coded by J. E. Crick in the early 1980s. The file is large because the manual is a pdf version of a scanned file.
mGENOVA
mGENOVA is an ANSI C computer program for multivariate generalizability analyses for a restricted class of designs. For these designs, the program has both G study and D study capabilities. mGENOVA was designed and coded by R. L. Brennan.
urGENOVA
urGENOVA is an ANSI C computer program for the estimation of variance components for unbalanced random effects G study designs. The program does not have D study capabilities. urGENOVA was designed and coded by R. L. Brennan.
