beezdemand: Behavioral Economic Easy Demand

Facilitates many of the analyses performed in studies of behavioral economic demand. The package supports commonly-used options for modeling operant demand including (1) data screening proposed by Stein, Koffarnus, Snider, Quisenberry, & Bickel (2015; <doi:10.1037/pha0000020>), (2) fitting models of demand such as linear (Hursh, Raslear, Bauman, & Black, 1989, <doi:10.1007/978-94-009-2470-3_22>), exponential (Hursh & Silberberg, 2008, <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.115.1.186>) and modified exponential (Koffarnus, Franck, Stein, & Bickel, 2015, <doi:10.1037/pha0000045>), and (3) calculating numerous measures relevant to applied behavioral economists (Intensity, Pmax, Omax). Also supports plotting and comparing data.
