- Information-theoretic measures [@dayan_metacognitive_2023], including

- RMI, a novel measure of metacognitive accuracy.
Finally, the `statConfR` package includes an example data set previously published in @hellmann_simultaneous_2023, with which the functions can be tested.
The `statConfR` reference manual provides documentation of each function of the latest release (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/statConfR/statConfR.pdf).
A seperate mannual is avialble for the development version (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/statConfR/statConfR.pdf).
