Overview

ddsynth provides methods to compute delay distributions from summary statistics (e.g. a reported mean and standard deviation).

This vignette is a placeholder that will be expanded once the main analysis functions have been added to the package.

Planned workflow

  1. Supply summary statistics describing the delay (mean, SD, or quantiles).
  2. Choose a parametric family (e.g. log-normal, gamma, Weibull).
  3. Fit the distribution — either analytically or via a Stan model stored in inst/stan/.
  4. Inspect and use the fitted distribution.
