Fig. 12. The top line represents y=x, i.e. the correct homing distance. The
middle line represents three leaky integrator models fitted to data (diamonds)
taken directly from fig. 2 of Sommer and Wehner
(2004). The models are Eqn 8
with
=98.27, ß=0.0103 (taken from their paper), Eqn 9 with
=103.2 and Eqn 10 with
=193.6 (fitted using least squared
error). The models are indistinguishable. Also shown as the bottom line is Eqn
10 with
=18.38, the value obtained fitting the simplified analytic
model (SAM) to the L-shaped journey experiments (see text), clearly a poor
fit.
