Effect of the parameter estimation method on the convergence of the parameter estimates. Either the mean (solid curves) or the mode (dashed curves) of the posterior parameter distribution is used to obtain the parameter estimates. The rms deviation for 50 randomly chosen virtual observers is shown as a function of trial number for both methods and for three psychometric-function parameters
