SumPi: A Software for Analyzing Sorting Task Data

portfolio1

Our software takes as input output from cardsorting.net, the detailed file of how a set of individuals sorted a set of items. The output is Summary Piles, the fewest piles possible that can help explain the data.

Installation instructions are provided in the README-FIRST.txt file. Note that it doesn't work well on macs for a function that isn't ported!
