Abstract:
General recognition theory (GRT) is both a theory of categorization and a framework for studying human categorization behavior. The GRT toolbox is a set of MATLAB scripts and subroutines that can help an experimenter design categorization experiments, generate stimuli for these experiments, simulate a participant's responses, analyze categorization data, and graph results. The typical user designs experiments for two-category tasks in which the categories are specified by multivariate normal distributions. The toolbox also provides tools for fitting the general linear classifier and the general quadratic classifier to a data set.

Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
