MPTmultiverse

MPTmultiverse is an R package that provides functions for a multiverse analysis of multinomial processing tree (MPT) models. Note that the package is currently work in progress and should be considered alpha. If you experience problems, open an issue.

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. Travis-CI Build Status

Install

To install MPTmultiverse, make sure you already installed the devtools package via install.packages("devtools"). Moreover, you also need a to have JAGS installed: Go to http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net/ for instructions on how to install JAGS on your machine.

If these prerequisites are met, type devtools::install_github("mpt-network/MPTmultiverse") in your R console to install MPTmultiverse together with all required packages that it depends on. To make sure that you are using the latest versions of all packages, you should also run update.packages(ask = FALSE).

Usage

  1. Create a new folder that contains the following three files (cf. the subfolder vignettes/):
    1. The MPT model in the .eqn-format
      • The model should be parameterized including all equality constraints.
      • To encode fixed parameters (e.g., g=.50), replace the parameter in the eqn-file by constants.
    2. The data with individual frequencies as a .csv-file
    3. The file analysis.rmd(copied from the vignettes subfolder).
  2. Adjust the input options in analysis.rmd in the section “MPT model definition & Data”. You have to specify the correct file names and the names of the columns in your data that contain a subject identifier and between-subjects conditions.
  3. Optionally, set some options (e.g., the number of bootstrap samples) via mpt_options()
  4. Run the analysis script (e.g., by knitting the .rmd file).
