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>
-
