OpenRepGrid (version 0.1.18)

Tools to Analyze Repertory Grid Data

Description

Analyze repertory grids, a qualitative-quantitative data collection technique devised by George A. Kelly in the 1950s. Today, grids are used across various domains ranging from clinical psychology to marketing. The package contains functions to quantitatively analyze and visualize repertory grid data (e.g. 'Fransella', 'Bell', & 'Bannister', 2004, ISBN: 978-0-470-09080-0). The package is part of the The package is part of the project.
