The ebook also will contain a radical checklist of references pointing the reader in the direction of extra literature and on-line resources.

The horizontal lines show the true parameter values that were used to generate the synthetic data (also indicated on top of each panel). 1 shows good parameter recovery for γ + and β, with only a slight overestimation of γ + . The α and μ parameters are systematically overestimated. The overestimation of α increases when the true value of μ becomes smaller (in the bottom left panel, compare the fourth, second, and fifth violin from the left or compare the leftmost and rightmost violins). pdf. 2 With only 90 trials—the standard number—parameter recovery was very poor.
