As some of you guessed, the two models are statistically indistinguishable. The answer is Model 1, but there was no way to tell from the data. I was very surprised when I first saw this. Here we show that this confounding of heterogeneity and reinforcement is general: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Did Model 1 or Model 2 generate these sequences? Why?
Model 1: Pólya urn, starting with one black and one red ball. 1 (0) stands for black (red).
Model 2: Empty probit model, random intercepts with mean 0, ICC = 1/2.
