The ‘wec’ package for R provides tools to use weighted effect coding.

Manfred te Grotenhuis is currently visiting the Swedish Institute of Social Research (SOFI), where he presented our joint work on Weighted Effect Coding. The recoding of his presentation is available on Manfred’s YouTube channel, and embedded below:

The relevant papers are available here (open access):

More information, as well as software for SPSS and STATA are available from the project website.
