Abstract

This chapter describes the CFA software that is freely available for use. One is a freeware written by Alexander von Eye (Michigan State University). The other is a R-package called confreq written by Jörg-Hendrik Heine (LMU Munich). The use of both software packages is described and demonstrated with data examples. Throughout the book both packages built the bases for demonstrating the use of Configural Frequency Analysis (CFA).

Notes

  1. 1.

    By the way, I do not recommend the use of the other available R-package called CFA. This package includes mistakes, and which will not be further developed by their authors (personal communication with Stefan Funke). For instance, the corresponding z-values are not correctly analyzed (see the book by von Eye, Mair, and Mun (2010) on p. 268 and compare the obtained values with Table 10.6 on p. 185).
