For a detailed overview of how to use trimr, please see the vignettes.
A stable release of trimr is available on CRAN. To install this, use:
install.packages("trimr")
You can also install the latest developmental version of trimr. Please note, though, that this version is undergoing testing and potentially has unidentified bugs. (If you do use this version and note a bug, please log it as an issue). To install the developmental version, you will first need to install the devtools package and install trimr directly from GitHub by using the following commands:
# install devtools install.packages("devtools") # install trimr from GitHub devtools::install_github("JimGrange/trimr")
trimr is an R package that implements most commonly-used response time trimming methods, allowing the user to go from a raw data file to a finalised data file ready for inferential statistical analysis.
The trimming functions available in trimr fall broadly into three families:
The latter implements the methods first suggsted by Van Selst & Jolicoeur (1994).
In the example below, we go from a data frame containing data from 32 participants (in total, 20,518 trials) to a trimmed data set showing the mean trimmed RT for each experimental condition & participant using the modified recursive trimming procedure of Van Selst & Jolicoeur (1994):
# load trimr's library library(trimr) # load the example data that ships with trimr data(exampleData) # look at the top of the example raw data head(exampleData) #> participant condition rt accuracy #> 1 1 Switch 1660 1 #> 2 1 Switch 913 1 #> 3 1 Repeat 2312 1 #> 4 1 Repeat 754 1 #> 5 1 Switch 3394 1 #> 6 1 Repeat 930 1 # perform the trimming trimmedData <- modifiedRecursive(data = exampleData, minRT = 150, digits = 0) # look at the trimmedData trimmedData #> participant Switch Repeat #> 1 1 1047 717 #> 2 10 779 647 #> 3 11 1075 931 #> 4 12 871 638 #> 5 13 911 763 #> 6 14 1014 799 #> 7 15 1151 831 #> 8 16 983 675 #> 9 17 831 664 #> 10 18 870 761 #> 11 19 672 584 #> 12 2 1118 1022 #> 13 20 1035 718 #> 14 21 807 680 #> 15 22 1239 941 #> 16 23 786 685 #> 17 3 1020 793 #> 18 4 1103 804 #> 19 5 1184 916 #> 20 6 1430 1123 #> 21 7 994 851 #> 22 8 1118 930 #> 23 9 951 721 #> 24 24 627 589 #> 25 25 590 602 #> 26 26 721 682 #> 27 27 826 784 #> 28 28 706 653 #> 29 29 543 560 #> 30 30 751 652 #> 31 31 1080 977 #> 32 32 686 634Installation Instructions
To install the package from GitHub, you need the devools package:
install.packages("devtools") library(devtools)
Then trimr can be directly installed:
devtools::install_github("JimGrange/trimr")
