hbayesdm 1.1.1

Python interface for hBayesDM, hierarchical Bayesian modeling of RL-DM tasks

This is the Python version of hBayesDM (hierarchical Bayesian modeling of Decision-Making tasks), a user-friendly package that offers hierarchical Bayesian analysis of various computational models on an array of decision-making tasks. hBayesDM in Python uses PyStan (Python interface for Stan) for Bayesian inference.

It supports Python 3.5 or higher versions and requires several packages including: NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, PyStan, Matplotlib, and ArviZ.
