nosof88oat {catlearn}

Ordinal adequacy test for simulations of nosof88 CIRP

Description

Tests whether a model output passes the ordinal adequacy criteria for the nosof88 CIRP.

Usage

  nosof88oat(dta, xtdo=FALSE)

Arguments

dta

Matrix containing model output. The matrix must have the same format, row order, and column names, as data(nosof88); with that proviso, the output of any simulation implementation can be handled by this function.

xtdo

eXTenDed Output: Either TRUE or FALSE

Details

This function implements the Wills & O'Connell (n.d.) ordinal adequacy tests for the nosof88 CIRP. Specifically, a model passes this test if it passes all four component tests: 1. E2(2) > B(2), 2. E7(7) > B(7), 3. E2(4) > B(4), 4. E7(9) > B(9). These tests refer to classification accuracy for particular stimuli in particular experimental conditions. For example, E7(9) indicates stimulus 9 in experimental condition E7.

Alternatively, by setting xtdo to TRUE, this function returns the summary model predictions reported by Wills & O'Connell (2016).

Value

Where xtdo=FALSE, this function returns TRUE if the ordinal adequacy tests are passed, and FALSE otherwise.

Where xtdo=TRUE, this function returns a summary matrix. The columns are stimulus numbers. The rows ('B','E') indicate the baseline (equal frequency) condition ('B') and the experimental conditions ('E2' or 'E7', depending on the column).
