This package brings together HyperTraPS(-CT), HyperHMM, HyperLAU, HyperDAGs and HyperMk, different algorithms for accumulation modelling. All are based around the idea of inferring hypercubic transition graphs that describe the accumulation of binary features.

Wrapper function hyperinf produces fitted hypercubic inference models from data; plot_hyperinf produces summary plots of the inferred transition graph. Arguments to hyperinf specify which fitting approach to use (default is to choose based on data structure). full_to_squared_fit converts a fully-parameterised hypercube (including those output from HyperHMM, HyperMK, HyperLAU) to a best estimate of an L2-parameterised HyperTraPS model (encoding pairwise interactions between features).
