What package can I use to help me categorize comment responses?

Daniel,

Looking at CRAN, the following might be useful:

  memisc	Tools for Management of Survey Data, Graphics, Programming,
Statistics, and Simulation
  questionr	Functions to make surveys processing easier
  survey        analysis of complex survey samples
  surveydata    Tools to manipulate survey data



and possibly
  questionr	Functions to make surveys processing easier
  samplingbook	Survey Sampling Procedures

I recently saw an r-help message that mentioned the psych package in
regard to surveys.

If you're looking specifically at free-form comments, where the respondent
can say anything they want, there is I think at least one package designed
for analysis of text and/or searching text for key words and the like.

There was a fairly recent posting about a package called "qdap" that might
be relevant.  See:

If you are asking for some kind of clustering based on vocabulary, then
have a look at the tm package and the articles that present it. If you
want an integrated solution with a graphical user interface, then my
package RcmdrPlugin.temis performs hierarchical clustering using Ward's
method and a Chi-squared distance.


My two cents
