hmetad: Fit the Meta-D' Model of Confidence Ratings Using 'brms'

Implementation of Bayesian regressions over the meta-d' model of psychological data from two alternative forced choice tasks with ordinal confidence ratings. For more information, see Maniscalco & Lau (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.concog.2011.09.021>. The package is a front-end to the 'brms' package, which facilitates a wide range of regression designs, as well as tools for efficiently extracting posterior estimates, plotting, and significance testing.
