How can single-case data be analyzed? Software resources, tutorial, and reflections on analysis

The present article aims to present a series of software developments in the quantitative analysis of data obtained via single-case experimental designs (SCEDs), as well as the tutorial describing these developments. The tutorial focuses on software implementations based on freely available platform...
