truelies

CRAN status Travis build status AppVeyor build status

truelies implements Bayesian methods, described in Hugh-Jones (2019), for estimating the proportion of liars in coinflip-style experiments, where subjects report a random outcome and are paid for reporting a “good” outcome.

For R source for the original paper, see https://github.com/hughjonesd/GSV-comment.

Installation

# stable version on CRAN
install.packages("truelies")

# latest version from github
remotes::install_github("hughjonesd/truelies")

Example

If you have 33 out of 50 reports of heads in a coin flip experiment:

library(truelies)
d1 <- update_prior(heads = 33, N = 50, P = 0.5, prior = dunif)
plot(d1)


dist_mean(d1)
#> [1] 0.3120336

# 95% confidence interval, using hdrcde
dist_hdr(d1, 0.95)
#> [1] 0.06123949 0.55000000
