Overview

About

Maintained by Philippe CourcouxCRAN page ↗

Provides tools for describing and analysing free sorting data. Main methods are computation of consensus partition and factorial analysis of the dissimilarity matrix between stimuli (using multidimensional scaling approach).

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/FreeSortR/FreeSortR_1.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "FreeSortR_1.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
