Figure 5. Importance of the mixed second order moments.
A comparison of the percent of the information captured by a second order model (
) that constrains
(i.e.
) and a second order model with
. For most cells, the information increases only slightly for
, indicating that little information is gained by constraining this moment. (Inset) The parameter
determines the angle between the axes of symmetry of the response function and the basis of the input space.
