Reported are cross-validation prediction error (i.e., the absolute difference between the predicted and actual), AIC, and BIC values for each model and its corresponding sets of parameters. The green shading indicates the best overall model, and blue shading shows the best model with only low-level components. As parameters, σ measures the stochasticity in choice, f0 is the single neural representation factor, and fp and fm are independent neural representation factors for probability and magnitude, respectively. fpij (respectively, fmij) indicates location-dependent representation factors for probability (respectively, magnitude) with similar values for decoys at locations i and j. High-level parameters b0 and bk (k = {1,2,3,4}) indicate the constant and location-dependent biases, respectively, and determine the weights of different attributes on final choice (bij indicates the case in which location-dependent biases bi and bj are assumed to have the same value, bi = bj = bij).
