Tools for building Rescorla-Wagner Models for Two-Alternative Forced Choice tasks, commonly employed in psychological research. Most concepts and ideas within this R package are referenced from Sutton and Barto (2018) <ISBN:9780262039246>. The package allows for the intuitive definition of RL models using simple if-else statements and three basic models built into this R package are referenced from Niv et al. (2012) doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.5498-10.2012. Our approach to constructing and evaluating these computational models is informed by the guidelines proposed in Wilson & Collins (2019) doi:10.7554/eLife.49547. Example datasets included with the package are sourced from the work of Mason et al. (2024) doi:10.3758/s13423-023-02415-x.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("binaryRL", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("yuki-961004/binaryRL")

Development version from yuki-961004/binaryRL. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-binaryrl

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
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-binaryRL

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
sudo zypper install -y R-binaryRL

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
