R package for the analysis of perceptual independence using general recognition theory.
grtools provides functions for the following analyses:
A tutorial introduction to GRT analyses using grtools can be found in this Frontiers In Psychology paper. Please use the following reference when you report analyses performed using grtools:
Soto, F. A., Zheng, E., & Ashby, F. G. (2017). Testing separability and independence of perceptual dimensions with general recognition theory: A tutorial and new R package (grtools). Frontiers in Psychology, 8:696.
Note that this package is still under development. We welcome your comments, feature requests, bug reports, etc.
Of course, you will need R, which you can download here. It is also a good idea to install RStudio, which you can download here.
grtools requires Rcpp to work, which in turn requires a development environment with a suitable compiler. If you already have this, go to step 2.
If you do not have a C++ compiler installed, see the Rcpp FAQ, particularly points 1.2 and 1.3. More detailed instructions on how to install the compiler can be found here for Mac OS X, and here for Windows.
The easiest way to install grtools and its dependencies is using devtools. Open RStudio or R, and in the console type:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fsotoc/grtools", dependencies="Imports")
After installation, type the following in the R console:
library(grtools)
?grtools
This will open a document that includes links to help documentation for each of the main analyses included in grtools (including examples). Sometimes the command ?grtools
produces an error instead of displaying the documentation. Simply quitting and re-opening R typically solves this problem.
