tempodisco: an R package for temporal discounting

Temporal discounting" or "delay discounting" refers to the near-universal phenomenon in which humans (and other animals) undervalue future rewards as a function of their delay (Odum, 2011).The degree to which future rewards are discounted in this way is an important individual difference that is related to a range of real-life outcomes (Story et al., 2014).Many methods exist for modeling and quantifying discounting, and tempodisco is designed to provide easy access to these.

Abstract

Temporal discounting" or "delay discounting" refers to the near-universal phenomenon in which humans (and other animals) undervalue future rewards as a function of their delay (Odum, 2011).The degree to which future rewards are discounted in this way is an important individual difference that is related to a range of real-life outcomes (Story et al., 2014).Many methods exist for modeling and quantifying discounting, and tempodisco is designed to provide easy access to these.
