BayesrelThe R-package Bayesrel allows to estimate some of the most common reliability coefficients in the Bayesian and frequentist framework. The package is available on CRAN, and the latest version can be obtained via github. A tutorial can be found here (appendix): https://psyarxiv.com/j6z8h/ Pfadt, J. M., van den Bergh, D., Sijtsma, K., Moshagen, M., & Wagenmakers, E.-J. (2021). Bayesian estimation of single-test reliability coefficients.

multiTreemultiTree is a java-based computer program for the analysis of multinomial processing tree models. Among other things, multiTree provides parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, checks for identifiability, bootstrapping, and power analysis. For download and additional information, see http://psycho3.uni-mannheim.de/multitree For details, see: Moshagen, M. (2010). multiTree: A computer program for the analysis of multinomial processing tree models. Behavior Research Methods, 42, 42-54. https://doi.org/10.3758/BRM.42.1.42 If you prefer to use multiTree in the R environment, you may use the corresponding R interface. The multiTreeR package is available at github. |
Lower bound N for FIAThe Fisher information approximation (FIA) of the normalized maximum likelihood is a model selection criterion based on the minimum description length principle. FIA should only be used if the total number of observations exceeds a lower bound. This Excel sheet computes this lower-bound N in contexts with multiple candidate models, to be used in conjunction with a suitable MPT modeling software such as multiTree. Get the Excel-Sheet here. For details, see Heck, D. W., & Moshagen, M., & Erdfelder, E. (2014). Model selection by minimum description length: Lower-bound sample sizes for the Fisher information approximation.

semPowersemPower allows for performing compromise, a priori, and post hoc power analyses for structural equation models. The R-package is available from CRAN, the latest version from github. A subset of the analyses are provided as a Shiny app online at https://moshagen.shinyapps.io/sempower/ For more details see the github page, the manual, and Moshagen, M., & Bader, M.

NOTAMONOTAMO is an R package that estimates the parameters of a quantile mixture cumulative distribution function to comply with prespecified central moments. The quantile mixture can be used with the NORTA algorithm to generate multivariate non-normally distruted samples with given covariance matrix and central moments. NOTAMO can be downloaded from github. For details, see Auerswald, M., & Moshagen, M. (2017). Sampling from arbitrary non-normal distributions with given covariance and central moments. |
NNNLSEMNNNLSEM generates non-normal data with given moments using a structural model with non-linear linking functions. Get the MATLAB script here. For details, see Auerswald, M., & Moshagen, M. (2015). Generating correlated, non-normally distributed data using a non-linear structural model. Psychometrika, 80, 920-937. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11336-015-9468-7 |
