class
model.qLearnE.
QLearnE
(alpha=0.3, epsilon=0.1, expect=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
model.modelTemplate.Model
The q-Learning algorithm
-
Name
¶ The name of the class used when recording what has been used.
Type: string
-
currAction
¶ The current action chosen by the model. Used to pass participant action to model when fitting
Type: int
Parameters: - alpha (float, optional) – Learning rate parameter
- epsilon (float, optional) – Noise parameter. The larger it is the less likely the model is to choose the highest expected reward
- number_actions (integer, optional) – The maximum number of valid actions the model can expect to receive. Default 2.
- number_cues (integer, optional) –
- The initial maximum number of stimuli the model can expect to receive.
- Default 1.
- number_critics (integer, optional) – The number of different reaction learning sets. Default number_actions*number_cues
- action_codes (dict with string or int as keys and int values, optional) – A dictionary used to convert between the action references used by the task or dataset and references used in the models to describe the order in which the action information is stored.
- prior (array of floats in
[0, 1]
, optional) – The prior probability of of the states being the correct one. Defaultones((number_actions, number_cues)) / number_critics)
- expect (array of floats, optional) – The initialisation of the expected reward.
Default
ones((number_actions, number_cues)) * 5 / number_cues
- stimFunc (function, optional) – The function that transforms the stimulus into a form the model can understand and a string to identify it later. Default is blankStim
- rewFunc (function, optional) – The function that transforms the reward into a form the model can understand. Default is blankRew
- decFunc (function, optional) – The function that takes the internal values of the model and turns them in to a decision. Default is model.decision.discrete.weightProb

delta
(reward, expectation, action, stimuli)[source]¶ Calculates the comparison between the reward and the expectation
Parameters: Returns: Return type: delta

rewardExpectation
(observation)[source]¶ Calculate the estimated reward based on the action and stimuli
This contains parts that are task dependent

updateModel
(delta, action, stimuli, stimuliFilter)[source]¶ Parameters: - delta (float) – The difference between the reward and the expected reward
- action (int) – The action chosen by the model in this trialstep
- stimuli (list of float) – The weights of the different stimuli in this trialstep
- stimuliFilter (list of bool) – A list describing if a stimulus cue is present in this trialstep
