An iterated nested least-squares algorithm (INLSA) for fitting multiple data sets
INLSA is an algorithm that allows multiple subjective datasets to be fitted to a single subjective scale. INLSA computes the fit from a common set of objective metrics.

- Files inlsa.m and pars_inlsa.m implement INLSA.
- File inlsa_demo.m creates made-up data for three (3) experiments and plots that data before and after running INLSA. The user can actually see what INLSA does to the data. Also the user gets a concrete example of how to call INLSA. The user can just replace the made-up data with real data and the use INLSA.
