Dear colleagues,
We have developed a new R package, called grtools, that can be used to
analyze psychophysical data to determine the independence and separability
of perceptual dimensions. The analyses use general recognition theory (GRT;
a.k.a multidimensional signal detection theory) to test for perceptual
independence and separability while controlling for the influence of
decisional processes.
We designed the package to be easy to use for non-experts. Thus, full
analyses can be performed through only a couple of commands.
grtools provides functions for the following analyses:
1. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using the GRT-wIND
(GRT with INdividual Differences) model of identification data.
2. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using traditional
GRT models of identification data.
3. Summary statistics analyses (i.e., Kadlec's MSDA) of identification data.
4. Summary statistics analyses of data from the Garner filtering task.
