Identify Distributions that Match Reported Sample Parameters (SPRITE)

v0.2.1 · Jul 6, 2023 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

The SPRITE algorithm creates possible distributions of discrete responses based on reported sample parameters, such as mean, standard deviation and range (Heathers et al., 2018, <doi:10.7287/peerj.preprints.26968v1>). This package implements it, drawing heavily on the code for Nick Brown's 'rSPRITE' Shiny app <https://shiny.ieis.tue.nl/sprite/>. In addition, it supports the modeling of distributions based on multi-item (Likert-type) scales and the use of restrictions on the frequency of particular responses.
