beezdemand - Behavioral Economic Easy Demand

Facilitates many of the analyses performed in studies of behavioral economic demand. The package supports commonly-used options for modeling operant demand including (1) data screening proposed by Stein, Koffarnus, Snider, Quisenberry, & Bickel (2015; <doi:10.1037/pha0000020>), (2) fitting models of demand such as linear (Hursh, Raslear, Bauman, & Black, 1989, <doi:10.1007/978-94-009-2470-3_22>), exponential (Hursh & Silberberg, 2008, <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.115.1.186>) and modified exponential (Koffarnus, Franck, Stein, & Bickel, 2015, <doi:10.1037/pha0000045>), and (3) calculating numerous measures relevant to applied behavioral economists (Intensity, Pmax, Omax). Also supports plotting and comparing data.

beezdiscounting - Behavioral Economic Easy Discounting

Facilitates some of the analyses performed in studies of behavioral economic discounting. The package supports scoring of the 27-Item Monetary Choice Questionnaire (see Kaplan et al., 2016; <doi:10.1007/s40614-016-0070-9>), calculating k values (Mazur's simple hyperbolic and exponential) using nonlinear regression, calculating various Area Under the Curve (AUC) measures, plotting regression curves for both fit-to-group and two-stage approaches, checking for unsystematic discounting (Johnson & Bickel, 2008; <doi:10.1037/1064-1297.16.3.264>) and scoring of the minute discounting task (see Koffarnus & Bickel, 2014; <doi:10.1037/a0035973>) using the Qualtrics 5-trial discounting template (see the Qualtrics Minute Discounting User Guide; <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.26495.79527>), which is also available as a .qsf file in this package.
