New packages psyphy and MLDS are available on CRAN: psyphy ncludes an assortment of functions useful in analyzing data from pyschophysical experiments. It includes functions for calculating d' from several different experimental designs, links for mafc to be used with the binomial family in glm (and possibly other contexts) and selfStart functions for estimating gamma values for CRT (and possibley other RGB) screen calibration data. MLDS implements analyses for Maximum Likelihood Difference Scaling. Difference scaling is a method for scaling perceived super-threshold differences. The package contains functions that allow the user to fit the resulting data by maximum likelihood and to test the internal validity of the estimated scale. There are also example functions that might be used to design and run a difference scaling experiment, Any suggestioins, criticisms, bug-reports, etc. are always welcome.
