TreeBUGS: Hierarchical Multinomial Processing Tree Modeling
Description
Uses standard MPT files in the .eqn-format (Moshagen, 2010) to fit hierarchical Bayesian MPT models. Note that the software JAGS is required (https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/).
The core functions either fit a Beta-MPT model (betaMPT; Smith
& Batchelder, 2010) or a latent-trait MPT model (traitMPT;
Klauer, 2010). A fitted model can be inspected using convenient summary and
plot functions tailored to hierarchical MPT models.
Detailed explanations and examples can be found in the package vignette,
accessible via vignette("TreeBUGS")
