Function simdiff
is an extension of the rejection algorithm outlined in Tuerlinckx et al. (2001). In this algorithm,
a proposal response time is sampled from an exponential distribution. This proposal is accepted as actual response
time when a specific condition is satisfied (see Eq. 16 in Tuerlinckx, 2001). As this condition requires the
approximation of an infinite sum, a convergence criterion needs to be specified (see the argument eps
). When
the condition is not satisfied, a new proposal response time is sampled. This is repeated until the proposal response
time is accepted or when max.iter
has been reached.
