Description

SAPA Tools is an R package developed by Jason A. French and David M. Condon for using the SAPA dataset. SAPA is an open-source personality collaboratory in which participants receive a random subset of items, leading to a matrix in which the data are massively missing at random (MMCAR).

SAPA Tools is an R package developed by Jason A. French and David M. Condon for using the SAPA dataset. As such, relevant functions are included for:

Obtaining the dataset from MySQL Scrubbing the dataset of duplicate entries Applying factor names to the various SAPA demographic codes Scoring open-source cognitive ability items from icar-project.org Integrating US census data with SAPA variables

We think the SAPA Project is an incredible resource for researchers for learning about personality using traits, abilities, and interests. As such, the primary goal of SAPA Tools is to make it easy to play with our data.

For the stand-alone Rscript, feedback.R, please look at SAPATools/inst/ in your R library. This function plots a participant's 12 aspect scores based on command-line arguments, and therefore isn't kept in SAPATools/R/.
