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
