stenR usage

stenR is a package tailored mainly for users and creators of psychological questionnaires, though other social science researchers and survey authors can benefit greatly from it.

It provides tools to help with processes necessary for conducting such studies:

processing data from raw item scores to raw factor/scale scores
standardization of the raw scores into standard scale of your choosing, either by:
- normalization of the raw scores using frequency table (if no norms have been developed before). Usually for authors of questionnaires or their adaptations.
- importing scoring table developed by questionnaire authors - for researchers only using the measure

Furthermore, tools for developing or using norms on grouped basis are also provided (up to two intertwined grouping conditions are supported).

As there are few fairly independent and varied processes supported in the stenR, they will be described separately below. For more details, browse through documentation and other vignettes.

Processing raw item scores to raw factor/scales

After conducting the study, results will be usually available in form of responses in some scoring scale for each separate items. For further analysis they need to be gathered into scales and factors (unless they are one-item scale).

stenR provides functions to make this process straightforward.
