MPTmultiverse

Multiverse Analysis of Multinomial Processing Tree Models

v0.4-3 · Feb 16, 2026 · GPL-2

Description

Statistical or cognitive modeling usually requires a number of more or less arbitrary choices creating one specific path through a 'garden of forking paths'. The multiverse approach (Steegen, Tuerlinckx, Gelman, & Vanpaemel, 2016, <doi:10.1177/1745691616658637>) offers a principled alternative in which results for all possible combinations of reasonable modeling choices are reported. MPTmultiverse performs a multiverse analysis for multinomial processing tree (MPT, Riefer & Batchelder, 1988, <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.95.3.318>) models combining maximum-likelihood/frequentist and Bayesian estimation approaches with different levels of pooling (i.e., data aggregation) as described in Singmann et al. (2024, <doi:10.1037/bul0000434>). For the frequentist approaches, no pooling (with and without parametric or nonparametric bootstrap) and complete pooling are implemented using MPTinR <https://cran.r-project.org/package=MPTinR>. For the Bayesian approaches, no pooling, complete pooling, and three different variants of partial pooling are implemented using TreeBUGS <https://cran.r-project.org/package=TreeBUGS>. The main function is fit_mpt() which performs the multiverse analysis in one call.
