+Pkg-Description: Procedures for Psychological, Psychometric, and Personality Research
+ A number of routines for personality, psychometrics and experimental
+ psychology. Functions are primarily for scale construction using factor
+ analysis, cluster analysis and reliability analysis, although others
+ provide basic descriptive statistics. Functions for simulating
+ particular item and test structures are included. Several functions
+ serve as a useful front end for structural equation modeling. Graphical
+ displays of path diagrams, factor analysis and structural equation
+ models are created using basic graphics. Some of the functions are
+ written to support a book on psychometrics as well as publications in
+ personality research. For more information, see the
