This post focuses on exploring how single-case experimental design (SCED) researchers can use R to visually synthesize experimental outcomes using the Single Case Assessment and Review Framework (SCARF). Specifically, the fxl R package is used to take data coded using SCARF and to generate figures that would historically be prepared using complex Excel spreadsheets. This is not a tutorial on SCARF per se, but rather a demonstration of how fxl supports a spreadsheet-free alternative for users of SCARF.
Gilroy Lab @ Louisiana State University
This is the personal website for Dr. Shawn Gilroy, a professor of School Psychology at Louisiana State University. This site features a wide array of information and resources related to the work done in the lab. Our work spans multiple domains, often occuring at the intersection between behavioral science, computer engineering, and education. This website is a repository of various projects, materials, resources, and various other tools for both educators and researchers.

This entry covers one of the more challenges issues with single-case visuals (e.g., complications from having many individuals with distinct patterns of data). This guide shows how to visualize competing selections, with changes in contexts (i.e., transitions in Phase ), with wrapping facets. Facet-specific styling is also modeled/demonstrated in this post.
Compound Figures in R: Integrating Integrity and Behavior Rates in FA Figures
This post/guide shows how to create a figure that shows how to dynamically create figures to show information that otherwise would require two or more figures. This guide shows how to overlay a Bar Series over a Multielement chart to simultaneously communicate information about internal validity as well as the presence of some functional relationship.
Drawing Hybrid/Blended Designs in R: Recreating Treatment Evaluation in Gilroy et al. (2019).
This tutorial shows a figure that can be necessary when there is a need to demonstrate experimental control but only two functions/targets are relevant. This figure also review conventions for visualizing schedule thinning/demand fading.
