In psychReport: Reproducible Reports in Psychology

rtDist

Description

Returns value(s) from a distribution appropriate to simulate reaction times. The distribution is a combined exponential and gaussian distribution called an exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) distribution or ex-gaussian distribution.

Usage

rtDist(n = 10000, gaussMean = 600, gaussSD = 50, expRate = 200)

Arguments

n	Number of observations
gaussMean	Mean of the gaussian distribution
gaussSD	SD of the gaussian distribution
expRate	Rate of the exponential function

Value

double

Examples

# Example 1:
x <- rtDist()
hist(x, 100)

# Example 2:
x <- rtDist(n = 20000, gaussMean = 800, gaussSD = 50, expRate = 100)
hist(x, 100)
