beezdiscounting 0.3.2

New Features

• fit_dd():
  • Introduced a new function to fit delay-discounting models using specified equations ("mazur"/"hyperbolic" or "exponential") and methods ("pooled", "mean", or "two stage").
  • Supports flexible data handling for aggregated and participant-specific modeling.
  • Returns an object of class "fit_dd" containing the fitted models, input data, and method details.
• plot_dd():
  • Added a function to visualize fitted delay-discounting models.
  • Automatically adapts to different fitting methods, including aggregated and individual models.
  • Provides customizable axis labels, title, and optional log-transformed x-axis for improved visualization of delay scales.
• results_dd():
  • New utility to extract model parameter estimates, confidence intervals, and fit statistics from a "fit_dd" object.
  • Supports both aggregated and participant-specific models.
  • Outputs a tidy tibble with columns for terms, estimates, standard errors, t-statistics, p-values, R2, three different AUC metrics, and confidence bounds.
• check_unsystematic():
  • New utility function to check delay-discounting datasets for unsystematic data patterns according to Johnson & Bickel’s (2008) two criteria.
• calc_aucs():
  • New utility function to calculate three different area under the curve (AUC) metrics for delay-discounting data according to Borges et al. (2016).

Improvements

• Confidence intervals are now computed using the calc_conf_int() function, ensuring accurate estimation based on model degrees of freedom.
• R2 values are calculated consistently using the calc_r2() function, providing reliable fit metrics for all models.

Enhancements

• The package now supports robust delay-discounting workflows, from unsystematic identification (check_unsystematic), model fitting (fit_dd), to visualization (plot_dd), to result extraction (results_dd).
• Improved compatibility with delay-discounting datasets that require participant-level or aggregated modeling approaches.

beezdiscounting 0.3.1

Minor fix

• Correctly names output columns from calc_pd() and score_pd(). ep50 changed to etheta50 and corrected calculation of ep50.

beezdiscounting 0.3.0

New features

• Add functions for scoring 5.5 trial probability discounting task (from the Qualtrics template) including: calc_pd() (and score_pd(), timing_pd(), and ans_pd).

Minor fix

• Subsetting issue is fixed in score_dd() that would unintentionally drop all rows if both conditions were FALSE.

Other changes

• Rename example data from five.fivetrial to five.fivetrial_dd for delay discounting.

• Add example data five.fivetrial_pd for probability discounting.

beezdiscounting 0.2.0

New features

• score_mcq27() properly supports arguments: impute_method, random, return_data, and verbose. See documentation and the README for explanations.

• generate_data_mcq() can generate fake MCQ data, including seed and prop_na arguments for reproducibility and specifying proportion of NAs.

• long_to_wide* and wide_to_long* are helper functions to reshape data from/to different formats.

Minor fix

• When no imputation is specified and NAs exist in the data, score_mcq27() returns NAs for the scoring instead of 1.

beezdiscounting 0.1.0

• Initial release with basic scoring of 27-item Monetary Choice Questionnaire and 5.5 trial delay discounting task from the Qualtrics template.

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
