Overview

About

Maintained by Felix HenningerFirst published 2016-10-192 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Parallel Constraint Satisfaction (PCS) models are an increasingly common class of models in Psychology, with applications to reading and word recognition (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981; \doi{10.1037/0033-295X.88.5.375}), judgment and decision making (Glöckner & Betsch, 2008 \doi{10.1017/S1930297500002424}; Glöckner, Hilbig, & Jekel, 2014 \doi{10.1016/j.cognition.2014.08.017}), and several other fields. In each of these fields, they provide a quantitative model of psychological phenomena, with precise predictions regarding choice probabilities, decision times, and often the degree of confidence. This package provides the necessary functions to create and simulate basic Parallel Constraint Satisfaction networks within R.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pcsinr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-PCSinR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
