This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.

When you click the Knit button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

hit.rate=c(0.0020 , 0.0355 , 0.1120 , 0.5730)
fa.rate=c(0.9885,0.9375,0.6815,0.466)

dprime.est=qnorm(hit.rate)-qnorm(fa.rate)
c.est=-qnorm(fa.rate)

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
