About

Maintained by Kunxiang MaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: WEIAN DATA TECH (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

Turns assessment and survey sample data (demographics, scores, sampling weights, ability estimates with individual item response theory standard errors, replicate weights and plausible values) into fully customizable pivot-style statistical tables in which every cell carries a design-appropriate standard error. Provides weighted means, proportions above cut scores, proficiency-level percentages and quantiles; sampling variance via linearization, Woodruff (1952) doi:10.1080/01621459.1952.10483443 intervals for quantiles, or balanced repeated replication and jackknife replicate weights including Fay's method; measurement variance via delta-method propagation of individual standard errors or Rubin (1987) doi:10.1002/9780470316696 combination across plausible values. Imports data from 'CSV', 'Excel', 'SPSS', 'SAS', 'Stata' and item response theory software person files ('Winsteps', 'ConQuest'); a configuration-file interface serves non-programmers and automation; results export to formatted 'Excel', 'JSON' and standalone 'HTML' reports with rule-based plain-language interpretation.

Changes in 1.0.0

First public release.

Core

lst_data() declares variable roles (id, groups, sampling weight, scores, ability estimates paired with individual IRT standard errors, item responses with scoring keys, replicate weights, plausible values).
lst_table() builds Excel-pivot-style tables: free combination of row variables, column variables and cell statistics, with optional "Total" margins; results available as tidy long data (as_long()) or a formatted wide layout (as_wide()).
Statistics: st_mean(), st_sd(), st_prop_above(), st_level_prop(), st_quantile(), st_count()/st_wcount(), item p-values st_pvalue() and option distributions st_option_dist().

Show all changes in 1.0.0Hide the rest of the changes in 1.0.0

Every statistic reports a sampling standard error in every cell, including st_option_dist(): each option share is computed as the weighted mean of its 0/1 indicator, so it reuses the same linearized and replicate-weight variance paths as the other statistics.

Variance engines

Linearized sampling variance by default; Woodruff intervals for quantiles.
Measurement variance propagated from individual IRT standard errors; probabilistic classification (method = "prob") robust to misclassification near cut scores; empirical-Bayes correction = "latent" for WLE/ML estimates.
Replicate weights (rep_weights, methods fay/brr/jk1/jk2) for PISA/TIMSS-style designs, with prefix expansion such as "W_FSTR".
Plausible values (pv = list(math = "PV#MATH")) with Rubin combination, composing with replicate weights.

Interfaces and output

One-shot lst_run() driven by YAML/JSON text or an Excel configuration workbook (lst_config_template()); JSON Schema and an llms.txt API digest ship in inst/ for automated agents.
Importers for csv/tsv, Excel, SPSS/SAS/Stata (value labels preserved) and Winsteps/ConQuest person files.
Export to styled Excel workbooks, machine-readable JSON and standalone HTML reports, each with rule-based plain-language interpretation.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("LISTC", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("weiandata/LISTC")

Development version from weiandata/LISTC. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-listc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-LISTC

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-LISTC

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
