Local linear estimation of psychometric functions. Provides functions for nonparametric estimation of a psychometric function and for estimation of a derived threshold and slope, and their standard deviations and confidence intervals.For more details see Zychaluk and Foster (2009) <doi:10.3758/APP.71.6.1414> and Foster and Zychaluk (2007) <doi:10.1109/MSP.2007.4286564>.

A minimalistic but flexible framework that facilitates the
    creation, management and training of multiple 'caret' models. A model grid
    consists of two components, (1) a set of settings that is shared by all
    models by default, and (2) specifications that apply only to the individual
    models. When the model grid is trained, model and training specifications are
    first consolidated from the shared and the model specific settings into
    complete 'caret' model configurations. These models are then trained with
    the 'train()' function from the 'caret' package.

An implementation of the cross-validated difference in means (CVDM) test by Desmarais and Harden (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11135-013-9884-7> (see also Harden and Desmarais, 2011 <doi:10.1177/1532440011408929>) and the cross-validated median fit (CVMF) test by Desmarais and Harden (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpr042>. These tests use leave-one-out cross-validated log-likelihoods to assist in selecting among model estimations. You can also utilize data from Golder (2010) <doi:10.1177/0010414009341714> and Joshi & Mason (2008) <doi:10.1177/0022343308096155> that are included to facilitate examples from real-world analysis.

Creates sophisticated models of training data and validates the models with an independent test set, cross validation, or Out Of Bag (OOB) predictions on the training data. Create graphs and tables of the model validation results. Applies these models to GIS .img files of predictors to create detailed prediction surfaces. Handles large predictor files for map making, by reading in the .img files in chunks, and output to the .txt file the prediction for each data chunk, before reading the next chunk of data.
