Overview

About

Maintained by Hume WinzarFirst published 2022-12-2211 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Generate and correlate synthetic Likert and rating-scale questionnaire responses with predefined means, standard deviations, Cronbach's Alpha, Factor Loading table, coefficients, and other summary statistics. It can be used to simulate Likert data, construct multi-item scales, generate correlation matrices, and create example survey datasets for teaching statistics, psychometrics, and methodological research. Worked examples and documentation are available in the package articles, accessible via the package website, https://winzarh.github.io/LikertMakeR/.

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-likertmaker

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-LikertMakeR

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-LikertMakeR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
