Re: [R] [R-pkgs] New package "list" for analyzing list survey experiments

2010-07-12 Thread Spencer Graves
  I encourage all authors and maintainers of packages that they use 
"findFn" in the "sos" package to search for other uses of a name you 
want to use.  The "findFn" function searches for matches in the help 
pages of contributed packages, including all of CRAN plus some 
elsewhere.  The "grepFn" can identify help pages whose name contains a 
particular term.



  The R Journal from last December contains an article describing 
this:
"http://journal.r-project.org/archive/2009-2/RJournal_2009-2_Graves~et~al.pdf";. 




  Hope this helps.

[R] [R-pkgs] New package "list" for analyzing list survey experiments

2010-07-12 Thread Graeme Blair
Dear all,

Kosuke Imai and I announce the new package "list," which is now available on 
CRAN.

list: Multivariate Statistical Analysis for the Item Count Technique

List allows researchers to conduct multivariate statistical analyses with data 
from the item count technique for sensitive survey questions. This survey 
methodology, also known as the list experiment or the unmatched count 
technique, is an alternative to the commonly used randomized response method. 
The package implements the methods described in Imai (2010) ``Statistical 
Inference for the Item Count Technique.''

More information is available at 
http://imai.princeton.edu/projects/sensitive.html
