bayesactR provides utilities that allow R users to run simulations using the Bayesian version of affect control theory developed by Dr. Jesse Hoey and colleagues. The package serves as a wrapper to Hoey’s C implementation and makes it possible to set up and run BayesACT simulations entirely from within R.
The goals of bayesactR are:
- To make BayesACT more accessible to social scientists who prefer R-based rather than command-line-based workflows
- To make setting up and running multiple simulations at one time simpler.
- To facilitate creating analytic workflows that are easily reproducible.
bayesactR is publicly available. Please see the package documentation for more information.
