Theories are one of the most important tools of science. Although psychologists discussed problems of theory in their discipline for a long time, weak theories are still widespread in most subfields.
One possible reason for this is that psychologists lack the tools to systematically assess the quality of their theories.
Previously a computational model for formal theory evaluation based on the concept of explanatory coherence was developed (Thagard, 1989, <doi:10.1017/S0140525X00057046>).
However, there are possible improvements to this model and it is not available in software that psychologists typically use.
Therefore, a new implementation of explanatory coherence based on the Ising model is available in this R-package.

Fitting, Diagnostics, and Plotting Functions for Infinite
Mixtures of Infinite Factor Analysers and Related Models

Provides flexible Gibbs sampler functions for fitting Infinite Mixtures of Infinite Factor Analysers and related models, introduced by Murphy et al. (2017) <https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.07010>, which conducts Bayesian nonparametric model-based clustering with factor analytic covariance structures without recourse to model selection criteria to choose the number of clusters or cluster-specific latent factors. Model-specific diagnostic tools are also provided, as well as many options for plotting results and conducting posterior inference on parameters of interest.
