NAME

       Psignifit - A program for fitting and testing hypotheses about psychometric functions.

DESCRIPTION

       Psignifit  allows  fitting of psychometric functions to datasets while maintaining full control over a large number of parameters. Data can
       either be read from text files or passed through a pipe.
       Psignifit performs the calculation of confidence intervals as well as goodness-of-fit tests.  Psignifit accepts input in a number  of  dif-
       ferent ways:

       From named text files:
	      psignifit <data> <preferences>

       Entirely from the console:
	      psignifit (...)
	      (enter data and preferences from the console and then send an EOF character - Ctrl-D in most UNIX shells)

       Partly from named text files, partly from the console:
	      psignifit <data> <preferences> -

       Through a pipe:
	      cat <data + preferences> | psignifit

       Or via a mixture of piped input on stdin and files named on the command line:
	      echo "#random_seed 12345" | cat <preferences> | psignifit <data> -

       For more documentation see the files in the /usr/share/doc/psignifit directory or visit http://bootstrap-software.org/psignifit/

TEST
