| Abstract: | Interrelationships among three response-time models which incorporate covariate information are explored. The most general of these models is the logistic-exponential in which the log odds of the probability of responding in a fixed interval is assumed to be a linear function of the covariates; this model includes a parameter W for the width of discrete time intervals in which responses occur. As W leads to O this model is equivalent to a continuous time exponential model in which the log hazard is linear in the covariates. As W leads to infininity it is equivalent to a continuous time exponential model in which the hazard itself is a linear function of the covariates. This second model was fitted to the data used in an earlier publication describing the logistic exponential model, and very close agreement of the estimates of the regression coefficients is demonstrated. |
