LBA-race: LBA race functions: Likelihood for first accumulator to win.

In rtdists/rtdists: Response Time Distributions

Description

n1PDF and n1CDF take RTs, the distribution functions of the LBA, and corresponding parameter values and put them throughout the race equations and return the likelihood for the first accumulator winning (hence n1) in a set of accumulators.

Usage

n1PDF(rt, A, b, t0, ..., st0 = 0, distribution = c("norm", "gamma",
  "frechet", "lnorm"), args.dist = list(), silent = FALSE)

n1CDF(rt, A, b, t0, ..., st0 = 0, distribution = c("norm", "gamma",
  "frechet", "lnorm"), args.dist = list(), silent = FALSE)

Arguments

rt	a vector of RTs.
A, b, t0	LBA parameters, see LBA. Can either be a single numeric vector (which will be recycled to reach length(rt) for trialwise parameters) or a list of such vectors in which each list element corresponds to the parameters for this accumulator (i.e., the list needs to be of the same length as there are accumulators). Each list will also be recycled to reach length(rt) for trialwise parameters per accumulator.
...	two named drift rate parameters depending on distribution (e.g., mean_v and sd_v for distribution=="norm"). The parameters can either be given as a numeric vector or a list. If a numeric vector is passed each element of the vector corresponds to one accumulator. If a list is passed each list element corresponds to one accumulator allowing again trialwise driftrates. The shorter parameter will be recycled as necessary (and also the elements of the list to match the length of rt). See examples.
st0	parameter specifying the variability of t0 (which varies uniformly from t0 to t0 + st0). Can be trialwise, and will be recycled to length of rt.
distribution	character specifying the distribution of the drift rate. Possible values are c("norm", "gamma", "frechet", "lnorm"), default is "norm".
args.dist	list of optional further arguments to the distribution functions (i.e., posdrift or robust for distribution=="norm").
silent	logical. Should the number of accumulators used be suppressed? Default is FALSE which prints the number of accumulators.

Details

For a set of N independent accumulators i = 1...N, the race likelihood for a given accumulator i is given by

L(unit i wins) = f_i(t) * prod_j<>i [ S_j(t) ]

where f(t) is the PDF (dlba_...) and S_j(t) = 1 - F_j(t) is the survivor function, that is the complement of the CDF F(t) (plba_...) at time t.

In other words, this is just the PDF/CDF for the winning accumulator at time t times the probability that no other accumulators have finished at time t.

For more user-friendly functions that return the PDF or CDF for the corresponding (and not first) accumulator winning see /code/linkLBA.

Examples

## check random generated values against race functions:

## 1. Without st0:
r_lba <- rLBA(1e4, A=0.5, b=1, t0 = 0.5, mean_v=c(1.2, 1), sd_v=0.2)
x <- seq(0.5, 4, length.out = 100) # for plotting
# PDF
y <- n1PDF(x, A=0.5, b=1, t0 = 0.5, mean_v=c(1.2, 1.0), sd_v=0.2) # PDF
hist(r_lba$rt[r_lba$response==1],probability = TRUE, breaks = "FD")

# CDF

y <- n1CDF(x, A=0.5, b=1, t0 = 0.5, st0 = 0, mean_v=c(1.2, 1.0), sd_v=0.2)
lines(x=x,y=y/mean(r_lba$response == 1), col = "red", lwd = 4.5, lty = 2)
