Figure 5. Importance of the mixed second order moments.

Figure 5

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