Overview

About

Maintained by Isaac T. PetersenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A collection of R functions that are widely used by the Petersen Lab. Included are functions for various purposes, including evaluating the accuracy of judgments and predictions, performing scoring of assessments, generating correlation matrices, conversion of data between various types, data management, psychometric evaluation, extensions related to latent variable modeling, various plotting capabilities, and other miscellaneous useful functions. By making the package available, we hope to make our methods reproducible and replicable by others and to help others perform their data processing and analysis methods more easily and efficiently. The codebase is provided in Petersen (2025) doi:10.5281/zenodo.7602890 and on 'CRAN': <doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.petersenlab>. The package is described in "Principles of Psychological Assessment: With Applied Examples in R" (Petersen, 2024, 2025a) doi:10.1201/9781003357421, doi:10.25820/work.007199, doi:10.5281/zenodo.6466589 and in "Fantasy Football Analytics: Statistics, Prediction, and Empiricism Using R" (Petersen, 2025b).

Install

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

install.packages("petersenlab", 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("DevPsyLab/petersenlab")

Development version from DevPsyLab/petersenlab. 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-petersenlab

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-petersenlab

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-petersenlab

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.
