Appendix 1—table 1. Model-free performance measures in simulated datasets that were generated using the group-level mean parameters from our placebo and drug groups.
Placebo simulations | Drug simulations | Averagep value | |
---|---|---|---|
Number of pain stimuli | 54.9 | 55.1 | 0.63 |
Switching after pain | 45.0% | 44.1% | 0.44 |
Switching after no pain | 4.8% | 3.7% | 0.41 |
Notes: Performance measures are averaged across all synthetic participants from each of 50 simulated datasets (27 synthetic participants per dataset). We performed 50 t-tests—each comparing the scores from the synthetic participants from one placebo vs. one drug simulation—and report their average p values.
