title: 'decisionpaths: Construct and Audit Longitudinal Decision Paths'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.decisionpaths
abstract: Tools for constructing and auditing longitudinal decision paths from panel
  data. Implements a decision infrastructure framework for representing institutional
  AI systems as generators of time-ordered binary decision sequences. Provides functions
  to build path objects from panel data, summarise per-unit descriptors (dosage, switching
  rate, onset, duration, longest run), compute the Decision Reliability Index (DRI)
  following Cronbach (1951) <https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02310555>, estimate Shannon
  decision-path entropy following Shannon (1948) <https://doi.org/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x>,
  classify systems by infrastructure type (static, periodic, continuous, human-in-the-loop),
  and evaluate subgroup disparities in decision exposure and stability. Applications
  include education, policy, health, and organisational research.
