Code, tools, data

I now routinely place all my research code and data in the public domain. These are spread across GitHub and the Open Science Framework.

I produced a package, currently implemented in Matlab, which conducts hierarchical Bayesian inference on delay discounting data. This package allows you to generate posterior distributions of discounting parameters. 

• The project page
• The toolbox repository on GitHub.
• The paper

I have build a number of handy tools to interactively explore how discounting works. These are built using R and Shiny.

• Demo of exponential discounting
• Demo of hyperbolic discounting
• The raw code can be found in my discounting-visualizer repository on GitHub

Code associated with this paper is available in the bayesian2AFC GitHub repository.

This code is in flux, and at the moment focusses on providing plotting functions for working with mcmc samples.

• mcmc-utils-matlab

Matlab code to calculate receptive fields which balance a) encoding information from natural images, b) metabolic energy expense.

• rf-mono-matlab code

If your Matlab project uses other GitHub repositories, then you can use this function to ensure those those dependencies are installed (cloned) and updated.

• github-sync-matlab

A Matlab function to fill selected areas in plots. This function was inspired by a function with the same name in the Python library, Matplotlib

• fill_between

A simple, lightweight attempt to get keyword arguments (kwargs) in Matlab.
