Matlab functions for maximum likelihood estimation of a variety of probabilistic discounting models from choice experiments. Data should take the form of binary choices between immediate and delayed rewards. The available discount functions are:

1) exponential

2) hyperbolic (Mazur's one-parameter hyperbolic)

3) generalized hyperbolic

4) Laibson's beta-delta
