Table 2.

Estimated values of slope ĉ70°50° for each observer and predicted slope ĉ60°50° ĉ70°60° based on the transitivity rule (Equation 6). The error of prediction ε (see Testing transitivity for details) represents how much the estimated value of the slope departed from the value predicted by transitivity. Bold indicates a significant difference between slope values for a z test at the Bonferroni-corrected α level 0.007 per test.
