Type: Package Package: elisr Title: Exploratory Likert Scaling Version: 0.1.1 Authors@R: c(person(given = "Steven", family = "Bißantz", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "steven.bissantz@gmail.com"), person(given = "Thomas", family = "Müller-Schneider", role = "ctb", email = "tms@uni-landau.de")) Description: An alternative to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for metrical data in R. Drawing on characteristics of classical test theory, Exploratory Likert Scaling (ELiS) supports the user exploring multiple one-dimensional data structures. In common research practice, however, EFA remains the go-to method to uncover the (underlying) structure of a data set. Orthogonal dimensions and the potential of overextraction are often accepted as side effects. As described in Müller-Schneider (2001) ), ELiS confronts these problems. As a result, 'elisr' provides the platform to fully exploit the exploratory potential of the multiple scaling approach itself.
