Provides the necessary functions to use a shifted lognormal distribution as a custom family in brms. This version is reparameterized to use tau (proportion of non-decision time relative to minimum RT) and minrt (minimum possible RT), where the non-decision time ndt = tau * minrt. The distribution is parameterized by the mean (meanlog, named mu in brms) and standard deviation (sigma) of the distribution on the log scale (sdlog), as well as tau, and minrt (which is typically fixed).

Usage

  link_mu = "identity",
