Hi! I am Martin Papenberg, working as a post-doctoral researcher and coordinator at the the Department of Experimental Psychology at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. I am interested in statistics, methodology, measurement, and programming.

I am author of the R package anticlust that (among others) can be used to automatically assign stimuli to conditions in psychological experiments. The package website contains all documentation, introductory vignettes, and installation instructions. If you have any questions regarding the anticlust package, feel free to send me an email.
