This methodology is used across social, health and environmental sciences to understand diversity of attitudes, discourses, or decision-making styles (for more information, see <https://qmethod.org/>).
The package allows to choose either principal components or centroid factor extraction, manual or automatic flagging, a number of mathematical methods for rotation (or none), and a number of correlation coefficients for the initial correlation matrix, among many other options.
Additional functions are available to import and export data (from raw *.CSV, 'HTMLQ' and 'FlashQ' *.CSV, 'PQMethod' *.DAT and 'easy-htmlq' *.JSON files), to print and plot, to import raw data from individual *.CSV files, and to make printable cards.

Description: Estimates finite quantile mixture models using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The finite quantile mixture models include both fixed- and random-quantile specifications that are applicable to both continuous and binary dependent variables. Tools are available to assess convergence and summarize the estimation results.
