[R] [R-pkgs] Package fechner for Fechnerian scaling, on CRAN now
Version 1.0-0 of fechner has been released to CRAN. Fechnerian scaling of discrete object (or stimulus) sets provides a theoretical framework for deriving, so-called Fechnerian, distances among objects representing subjective dissimilarities. A Fechnerian metric on a set of stimuli is constructed from the probabilities with which the objects are discriminated from each other by a perceiving system. In addition to the oriented and overall Fechnerian distances, the package fechner also computes such related information as the points of subjective equality, the psychometric increments, the geodesic chains and loops with their corresponding lengths, and the generalized Shepardian dissimilarities. Moreover, the package fechner provides functions for checking the required data format and the fundamental regular minimality/maximality condition.
