NAME¶

Psignifit - A program for fitting and testing hypotheses about psychometric functions.

DESCRIPTION¶

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> -

For more documentation see the files in the /usr/share/doc/psignifit directory or visit http://bootstrap-software.org/psignifit/

EXAMPLES¶

TEST¶

A regression test for psignifit can be found in /usr/share/doc/psignifit/tests
