README

This project contains the computational model developed and evaluated in "Towards a Generative Model for Emotion Dynamics" (preprint: https://psyarxiv.com/x52ns). This project can be used to simulate data from the model and investigate the behaviour implied by the model.

The package can be installed in R by running devtools::install_github(ryanoisin/GenerativeEmotion)

Folders

• /R contains functions to specify the computational model (model_matrices.R), and generate data from the model (datagen.R).
• /man contains manual files for these functions

Scripts

• Showcase.Rmd illustrates how to simulate data from the model

R

• model_matrices.R functions to specify all model components
• datagen.R function to simulate data from the generative model, using the output of model_matrices()
• helper_functions.R contains functions are used by model_matrices() to derive additional model-implied relationships outputted by that function.
