The ability function returns the weighted score of the individual given his raw score (i.e. the number of black dotes collected).

1	mazeAbility(nodePosition, dot = 2, model = "t2")

`nodePosition`	You need to calculate the nodePosition.
`dot`	This is the number of black dots.
`model`	There are 4 models to estimate ability (t1,t2,t3,t4).

This function calculates the weighted score of the participant given the number of dots collected. The function adopts 4 different models which follows the Davies & Davies (1965) paper. The formula for is Model 1:

log(2^{R}/U_{m})

where 2^R is the total number of paths and U_{m} is the paths through the specified number of dots. The formula for Model 2:

log(U_{\hat{m}}/U_{m})

where U_{\hat{m}} is the value with the maximum number of connected dots. The formula for Model 3:

log(2^{R}*s^{4}/U_{m})

where s^{4} is the saturation value. The formula for Model 4 is:

log(U_{\hat{m}}*s^{4}/U_{m})

We included all four models to calculate maze ability.

An 'ab' class is created which will be used for other functions in the package.
