Performance of alternative estimators. (a) Owl's behavior2 (bold black) and maximum likelihood (ML) estimate (gray). The thin black line is the identity. Error bars represent the standard deviation over trials. (b) Owl's behavior2 (bold black) and Bayesian estimate using the mean of the posterior distribution when using a Gaussian-shaped prior that is wider than the optimal value (gray). (c) Owl's behavior2 (bold black) and Bayesian estimate using the mean of the posterior distribution when using a flat prior (gray).
