Programs

Most of my quantitative methods programs are now available as R packages or shiny apps, with some additional programs provided on this page. References appear below.

 

Taxometric Analysis

As of May 30, 2017, the program code to perform taxometric analyses that was previously available via this web site has been replaced with the RTaxometrics package (Ruscio & Wang, 2021). More information is available here.

Generating Multivariate Nonnormal Data

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio and Kaczetow (2008) is provided in the RGenData package.

Dipl. Stat. (FH) Thomas Franke wrote SAS code and graciously allowed me to provide it here.

EFA with Comparison Data 

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio and Roche (2012a) is provided in the RGenData package. The code has been extended to allow the use of Spearman rank-order correlations, which can accommodate data that are ordinal and/or non-normally distributed.

Bootstrap CI for A 

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio and Mullen (2012) is provided in the RProbSup package. Daniel Mattei created a version of this code to perform the analyses in SAS and has kindly permitted me to share his SAS code here.

Generalizations of A

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio & Gera (2013) is provided in the RProbSup package. Daniel Mattei created a version of this code to perform the analyses in SAS and has kindly permitted me to share his SAS code here.

Citation-Based Indices

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio, Seaman, D’Oriano, Stremlo, and Mahalchik (2012) is provided in the RImpact package.

Standardized Variance Heterogeneity

Program code to implement the methods described in Ruscio and Roche (2012b) is available here.

Adjusting Scores

Program code to implement the methods described in Kuhlthau, Ruscio, Bastedo, & Furey (2017) is available here.

NFL Win Probability Calculator

At this web site, you can enter the details of a game situation (e.g., score, down and distance, field position, time remaining) to obtain an estimate of the probability that the team on offense will win the game:

The statistical model, and supporting research, are described in this paper.
