ADOpy is a Python implementation of Adaptive Design Optimization (ADO; Myung, Cavagnaro, & Pitt, 2013), which computes optimal designs dynamically in an experiment. Its modular structure permit easy integration into existing experimentation code.
ADOpy supports Python 3.5 or above and relies on NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas.
Features¶
Grid-based computation of optimal designs using only three classes:
adopy.Task,adopy.Model, andadopy.Engine.Easily customizable for your own tasks and models
Pre-implemented Task and Model classes including:
Psychometric function estimation for 2AFC tasks (
adopy.tasks.psi)Delay discounting task (
adopy.tasks.ddt)Choice under risk and ambiguity task (
adopy.tasks.cra)
Example code for experiments using PsychoPy (link)
