change from specific delay terms to generic choice A or B terms #9

Closed drbenvincent closed 5 years ago

drbenvincent commented 5 years ago

The toolbox was initially focussed around delay discounting only. Because of this I started using the 'sooner' or 'later' terms. This phrasing exists in the code, for example in the models we currently talk about 'probability of choosing delayed option'.

However, this is too specific and rapidly breaks down. For example in Risky Choice where both prospects are delivered immediately (but with a certain probability) then this is just confusing.

So... convert all 'delayed' or 'sooner' terminology into the more generic 'prospect A' or 'prospect B' terminology.

I think I've got all instances of this now.
