Make acoustic cues to use with the R packages 'ndl' or 'ndl2' or Python package 'pyndl'. The package implements functions used in the PLoS ONE paper: Denis Arnold, Fabian Tomaschek, Konstantin Sering, Florence Lopez, and R. Harald Baayen (2017). Words from spontaneous conversational speech can be recognized with human-like accuracy by an error-driven learning algorithm that discriminates between meanings straight from smart acoustic features, bypassing the phoneme as recognition unit. PLoS ONE 12(4):e0174623 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0174623> More details can be found in the paper and the supplement.

GAMM (Generalized Additive Mixed Modeling; Lin & Zhang, 1999) as implemented in the R package 'mgcv' (Wood, S.N., 2006; 2011) is a nonlinear regression analysis which is particularly useful for time course data such as EEG, pupil dilation, gaze data (eye tracking), and articulography recordings, but also for behavioral data such as reaction times and response data. As time course measures are sensitive to autocorrelation problems, GAMMs implements methods to reduce the autocorrelation problems. This package includes functions for the evaluation of GAMM models (e.g., model comparisons, determining regions of significance, inspection of autocorrelational structure in residuals) and interpreting of GAMMs (e.g., visualization of complex interactions, and contrasts).

pyndl is an implementation of Naive Discriminative Learning in Python. It was created to analyse huge amounts of text file corpora. Especially, it allows to efficiently apply the Rescorla-Wagner learning rule to these corpora.

Naive discriminative learning implements learning and classification models based on the Rescorla-Wagner equations and their equilibrium equations.
