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; ), 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; ) and scoring of the
minute discounting task (see Koffarnus & Bickel, 2014; ) using the
Qualtrics 5-trial discounting template (see the Qualtrics Minute Discounting User Guide;
), which is also available as a .qsf file in this package.
