Each accumulator defines a distribution of finishing times after its
onset. This guide describes the available families, their parameter
names, and the values accepted by build_param_matrix().
By default, parameters are grouped by parameter name across
compatible accumulators. Use set_parameters() when an
accumulator should have its own parameter, such as go.m,
stop.shape, or choice.v.
| Family | Parameters, in matrix-slot order | Meaning and constraints |
|---|---|---|
lognormal |
m, s |
Mean and standard deviation of log finishing time;
s > 0. |
gamma |
shape, rate |
Gamma shape and rate; both positive. The mean is
shape / rate. |
exgauss |
mu, sigma, tau |
Mean and standard deviation of a Gaussian component, and mean of an
exponential component; sigma > 0,
tau > 0. Their sum is conditioned to be positive. |
LBA |
v, B, A, sv |
Mean drift, threshold gap, start range, and drift standard
deviation; sv > 0. Drift is drawn from a normal
distribution conditioned to be positive. |
RDM |
v, B, A, s |
Drift, threshold gap, start range, and diffusion noise scale;
v >= 0, s > 0. |
For both LBA and RDM, A is the
full width of the uniform starting-point distribution on
[0, A], and B is the gap from its upper end to
the threshold. The absolute threshold is B + A, giving a
uniform initial distance to threshold on [B, B + A]. Both
A and B must be non-negative, with
B + A > 0; A = 0 gives a fixed starting
point.
All distribution parameters must be finite. The builder also requires
finite ratios mu / sigma and sigma / tau for
exgauss, v / sv for LBA, and v / s and
(B + A) / s for RDM.
Every accumulator has a nonnegative nondecision time t0,
added to its finishing time after onset. It defaults to zero when
omitted. For exgauss, mu belongs to the Gaussian component
before conditioning on a positive sum; t0 shifts the
resulting positive finishing time.
Use add_trigger() to assign probability to an
accumulator being absent on a trial. A trigger probability lies in
[0, 1].
A model can combine different distributions. Use the parameter names
appropriate to each family; par_names() shows the names
required by the model’s parameter grouping.
