Simulation of the queueing model of visual search

Description

queue simulates the response and response time on a single trial in an experiment using standard visual search paradigm.

Usage

queue(miat, mst, c, pr, L, misidd, misidt, arrival, serving, tposition,
      old=FALSE)

Arguments

miat	A positive number representing the scale parameter of the exponential distribution of interarrival times, i.e., the mean interarrival time.
mst	A positive number representing the scale parameter of the exponential distribution of service times, i.e., the mean service time.
c	\c
pr	\pr
L	A natural number representing the number of stimuli that have been identified to terminate the queueing process.
misidd	Logical vector of length k. Here, FALSE means correct identification and TRUE misidentification of a distractor.
misidt	Logical. Here, FALSE means correct identification and TRUE misidentification of the target.
arrival	A vector of length set size. Elements must be exponentially distributed random numbers with rate 1.
serving	A vector of length set size. Elements must be exponentially distributed random numbers with rate 1.
tposition	A natural number representing the position of the target in the queue, in target present case less or equal to set size, in target absent case equal to set size +1.
old	\old

Value

A numeric vector of length 5 indicating the number of visual items processed, the mean processing time of a single item, the maximum of processing time of a single item, the system response time and the response.
