circumplex

The goal of circumplex is to provide a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly way to analyze and visualize circumplex data. It was created and is maintained by Jeffrey Girard; it was inspired by work from and was developed under advisement from Johannes Zimmermann and Aidan Wright. You can learn more about using this package through the vignette articles available on the package website or through ?circumplex.

Installation

# Install release version from CRAN
install.packages("circumplex")

# Install development version from GitHub
devtools::install_github("jmgirard/circumplex")

Usage

data("jz2017")
results <- ssm_analyze(
  .data = jz2017, 
  scales = c(PA, BC, DE, FG, HI, JK, LM, NO), 
  angles = c(90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360, 45), 
  measures = c(NARPD, ASPD)
)

ssm_table(results)
