Utilities for Making and Plotting Mazes

Functionality for generating and plotting random mazes. The mazes are based on matrices, so can only consist of vertical and horizontal lines along a regular grid. But there is no need to use every possible space, so they can take on many different shapes.

Elithorn Maze Generator

A maze generator that creates the Elithorn Maze (HTML file) and the functions to calculate the associated maze parameters (i.e. Difficulty and Ability).

Network Maze Generator

A network Maze generator that creates different types of network mazes.

Generate Recursive Mazes

Supports the generation of parallelogram, equilateral triangle, regular hexagon, isosceles trapezoid, Koch snowflake, 'hexaflake', Sierpinski triangle, Sierpinski carpet and Sierpinski trapezoid mazes via 'TurtleGraphics'. Mazes are generated by the recursive method: the domain is divided into sub-domains in which mazes are generated, then dividing lines with holes are drawn between them, see J. Buck, Recursive Division, < http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2011/1/12/maze-generation-recursive-division-algorithm>.

Image Processing Tools for Barnes Maze Experiments

Tools to process the information obtained from experiments conducted in the Barnes Maze. These tools enable the detection of trajectories generated by subjects during trials, as well as the acquisition of precise coordinates and relevant statistical data regarding the results. Through this approach, it aims to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of observed behaviors, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of learning and memory processes in such experiments.

Mediation Analysis for Zero-Inflated Mediators

A novel mediation analysis approach to address zero-inflated mediators containing true zeros and false zeros. See Jiang et al (2023) "A Novel Causal Mediation Analysis Approach for Zero-Inflated Mediators" for more details.
