psignifit1
A program for fitting and testing hypotheses about psychometric functions.
Overview
Psignifit allows fitting of psychometric functions to datasets while maintaining full control over a large number of parameters. Data can either be read from text files or passed through a pipe.
Psignifit performs the calculation of confidence intervals as well as goodness-of-fit tests. Psignifit accepts input in a number of different ways:
- From named text files:
-
psignifit<data> <preferences>
- Entirely from the console:
-
psignifit(...)
(enter data and preferences from the console and then send an EOF character - Ctrl-D in most UNIX shells)
- Partly from named text files, partly from the console:
-
psignifit<data> <preferences> -
- Through a pipe:
-
cat<data + preferences> |psignifit
- Or via a mixture of piped input on stdin and files named on the command line:
-
echo"#random_seed 12345" |cat<preferences> |psignifit<data> -
