In SSrat: Two-Dimensional Sociometric Status Determination with Rating Scales

#' Ssrat, a Program for Two-dimensional Sociometric Status Determination with
#' Rating Scales
#' 
#' SSrat is a collection of functions for two-dimensional sociometric status
#' determination with rating scales. The theory underlying the program is
#' described in Maassen, Akkermans and Van der Linden (1996). A discussion of
#' the advantages of using ratings for sociometric status classification is
#' given by Maassen, Van der Linden and Akkermans (1997). The basics of the
#' algorithms are described in Maassen and Landsheer (1998). For each person
#' assessed, SSRAT computes probability distributions of the total scores for
#' `sympathy' (S), `antipathy' (A), `social preference' (P) and `social impact'
#' (I), and applies criteria for sociometric status categorization as described
#' in Maassen et al. (1996).
