Two-way two-mode data occur in almost every domain of scientific psychology. The information present in such data, however, may be hard to grasp because of the dimensions of one or both modes. Two-mode partitioning addresses this problem by breaking down both modes into a number of mutually exclusive and exhaustive subsets. Although such a technique may be very useful, up to now, software--and consequently, two-mode partitioning--has been available only to a handful of specialists in the field. In this article, we present a free, easy-to-use MATLAB graphical user interface (TwoMP) for two-mode partitioning models, specifically developed for nonspecialist users. A short formal introduction is given on the statistics of the method, and the basic use of TwoMP is demonstrated with an example.
双向双模式数据几乎出现在科学心理学的每个领域。然而,由于一种或两种模式的维度,此类数据中呈现的信息可能难以理解。双模式划分通过将两种模式分解为多个相互排斥且详尽无遗的子集来解决这个问题。尽管这种技术可能非常有用,但到目前为止,只有该领域的少数专家能够使用相关软件——进而进行双模式划分。在本文中,我们为双模式划分模型提供了一个免费的、易于使用的MATLAB图形用户界面(TwoMP),该界面是专门为非专业用户开发的。本文简要正式介绍了该方法的统计数据,并通过一个示例演示了TwoMP的基本用法。
