Package Overview
The petersenlab
package contains a collection R
functions that are widely used by the Petersen Lab (the Developmental Psychopathology Lab at the University of Iowa). 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.
