WienerCDF: First-passage time cumulative distribution function of the diffusion model

Description

Calculates the first-passage time cumulative distribution function of the diffusion model.

Usage

WienerCDF(
  t,
  response,
  a,
  v,
  w,
  t0 = 0,
  sv = 0,
  sw = 0,
  st0 = 0,
  precision = NULL,
  K = NULL,
  n.threads = FALSE,
  n.evals = 6000
)
pWDM(
  t,
  response,
  a,
  v,
  w,
  t0 = 0,
  sv = 0,
  sw = 0,
  st0 = 0,
  precision = NULL,
  K = NULL,
  n.threads = FALSE,
  n.evals = 6000
)

Value

A list of the class Diffusion_cdf containing

• cdf: the CDF,

• logcdf: the log-transformed CDF,

• call: the function call,

• err: the absolute error. Only provided if sv, sw, or st0 is non-zero. If numerical integration is used, the precision cannot always be guaranteed.

Arguments

t

First-passage time. Numeric vector.

response

Response boundary. Character vector with "upper" and "lower" as possible values. Alternatively a numeric vector with 1=lower and 2=upper.

a

Upper barrier. Numeric vector.

v

Drift rate. Numeric vector.

w

Relative starting point. Numeric vector.

t0

Non-decision time. Numeric vector

sv

Inter-trial variability of drift rate. Numeric vector. Standard deviation of a normal distribution N(v, sv).

sw

Inter-trial variability of relative starting point. Numeric vector. Range of uniform distribution U(w-0.5*sw, w+0.5*sw).

st0

Inter-trial variability of non-decision time. Numeric vector. Range of uniform distribution U(t0, t0+st0).

precision

Optional numeric value. Precision of the CDF. Numeric value. Default is NULL, which takes default value 1e-12.

K

Optional. Number of iterations to calculate the infinite sums. Numeric value (integer). Default is NULL.

• precision = NULL and K = NULL: Default precision = 1e-12 used to calculate internal K.

• precision != NULL and K = NULL: precision is used to calculate internal K,

• precision = NULL and K != NULL: K is used as internal K,

• precision != NULL and K != NULL: if internal K calculated through precision is smaller than K, K is used.

We recommend using either default (precision = K = NULL) or only precision.

n.threads

Optional numerical or logical value. Number of threads to use. If not provided (or 1 or FALSE) parallelization is not used. If set to TRUE then all available threads are used.

n.evals

Optional. Number of maximal function evaluations in the numeric integral if sv, sw, and/or st0 are not zero. Default is 6000 and 0 implies no limit and the numeric integration goes on until the specified precision is guaranteed.
