For type = "sep_b" in estimate_dm():
Chains are now initialized more robustly.
We reverted back to adding the value 0.001 to
t_vec when evaluating DMC’s drift rate for
a!=2 (after noticing solver crashes with the former value
of 1e-5).
It is now possible to pass a value via ddm_opts() to
objects of type dmc_dm(); this controls the value that is
added to t_vec when evaluating DMC’s drift rate for
a!=2.
estimate_dm(). From this version onward,
fits are not automatically saved to the file system to be reloaded
later. Instead, estimate_dm() returns fitted objects
directly, and you save the results yourselves.dRiftDM now uses an adaptive time-stepping scheme
for deriving PDFs — substantially increasing speed.
We now support variability in the drift rate for the constant drift-rate component (not only for the Ratcliff DDM).
plot() methods were redesigned to avoid argument
clashes and to provide more customization options.
drift_dm() objects gain a new entry
cost_function. This lets us use the "rmse"
statistic or full-range maximum likelihood, and it enables fitting
aggregated data via "rmse".
The neg_log_like entry of a drift_dm
object has been replaced by the more general
cost_value.
cost_function() accessor and replacement methods
have been introduced.
cost_value() accessor and replacement methods have
been introduced.
estimate_dm() has been introduced.
If possible, dRiftDM now provides reasonable
starting values for the Nelder-Mead and BFGS optimization routines (both
bounded and unbounded). To this end, EZ Diffusion parameter estimates
are used whenever possible, in combination with grid-search-like
procedure.
estimate_model() has been deprecated and superseded
by estimate_dm().
estimate_model_ids() has been deprecated. Use
estimate_dm(), which does not save individual fits to the
file system — ensuring more consistent behavior across fitting
modes.
get_lower_upper() has been introduced. It provides
default upper and lower parameter ranges for pre-built models and their
components.
Hierarchical and non-hierarchical Bayesian parameter estimation
is now possible via estimate_dm()! This is still
experimental, and the returned mcmc_dm type is not fully
integrated yet (currently: diagnostic checks and parameter extraction is
supported).
calc_stats() gains basic_stats and
densities options for type.
basic_stats returns means, standard deviations, and choice
proportions; densities returns density values.
calc_stats() gains a resample option to
quantify variability in model predictions. We can resample for a given
model or a single individual, or bootstrap an entire sample.
calc_stats() arguments split_by_ID and
average have been superseded by the more general
level argument.
simulate_data() no longer returns RTs restricted to
the time grid (step size dt). PDFs are linearly
interpolated for inverse transform sampling. We can control RT decimal
places via round_to.
simulate_data() now supports the conds
argument.
ssp_dm() gains var_non_dec and
var_start to toggle variability in non-decision time and
starting point.
ssp_dm() now uses uniform variability in
non-decision time, aligning more closely with the original
publication.
ssp_dm() default dx and dt
increase computation speed while balancing numerical error for many
parameter values.
dmc_dm() default dx and dt
increase computation speed while balancing numerical error for many
parameter values.
ratcliff_dm() default dx and
dt increase computation speed while balancing numerical
error for many parameter values.
coef() and plot() now support the
mcmc_dm object type.
check_discretization() has been introduced. This
function helps us assess the loss in precision when increasing
dt and dx.
get_example_fits_ids() was removed.
get_example_fits() has been introduced to obtain
fits_ids_dm, fits_agg_dm, or
mcmc_dm objects.
nt_constant() now uses round() instead
of as.integer() to locate the Dirac delta index, reducing
bias in non-decision time estimates.
pdfs() now also returns a vector of the time
domain.
The coef() and plot() method now
supports mcmc_dm objects.
The progress argument replaces verbose
in calc_stats (default: 1).
The "fit_stats" option for calc_stats()
now returns multiple fit statistics, including log-likelihood, AIC, BIC,
and root-mean-squared error.
simulate_traces now properly considers
trial-by-trial variability in the drift rate.
calc_stats() is now more precise due to proper
numerical integration.print() and summary() methods are now
available for traces_dm, traces_dm_list,
stats_dm, stats_dm_list, and
coefs_dm objects.
New unpack_obj() makes it easy to strip away
attributes and class labels of objects created by dRiftDM. The more
specific predecessor function unpack_traces() is now
deprecated unpack_traces().
New pdfs() provides access to a model’s predicted
probability density function.
coef.drift_dm() gains a
select_custom_prms argument.
list_stats_dm objects are now called
stats_dm_list for name consistency.
traces_dm objects now have additional attributes
(which were required for appropriate print and summary
methods).
More consistent capitalization in print.summary.*()
methods.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
