R PACKAGE psycholing

We're putting together an R package with functions for performing standard data processing tasks for many common experimental designs in psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology and for coding and interpreting the results for linear mixed-effects models.

Here's how you can grab and use the current development version of the package:

  1. Install the devtools package if you haven't already. It's available on CRAN.
  2. In R, type devtools::install_github('sfraundorf/psycholing') to both download and install the package in one step.
  3. That's it! You now have the psycholing package installed. You can load it up with library(psycholing) and use it just like any other R package.

You can also check out the GitHub repository for the package.


STATISTICS NOTES

By popular demand, here's a Web-based version of Scott's course in linear mixed-effect models, updated for the fall 2020 term. Disclaimer: These lecture notes are from a previous term, so there's a possibility they no longer reflect current practice in the field.
