A commentary on
A single theoretical framework for circular features processing in humans: orientation and direction of motion compared

by Tzvetanov, T. (2012). Front. Comput. Neurosci. 6:28. doi: 10.3389/fncom.2012.00028

In the article A single theoretical framework for circular features processing in humans: orientation and direction of motion compared (Tzvetanov, 2012, Front. Comput. Neurosci. 6:28. doi: 10.3389/fncom.2012.00028) a presentation error occurred concerning the equations defining a and w within the text (subsection 4.4, page 9).

The sentence on page 9, subsection 4.4:

The priors on the three parameters were: l - beta probability distribution with parameters Beta (1.1, 20); μ - normal probability distribution with parameters Norm (a, 10w) with a and w being the mean and standard deviation obtained from each experimental data set {xi, pi} (a = ∑ pixi and w=pi(xia)2); σ - gamma probability distribution with parameters Gamma (aG, bG) fixed at aG = 1 + w/bG and bG=(51)w/2 such that the mode and variance of the Gamma distribution is w.

must be replaced by:

The priors on the three parameters were: l - beta probability distribution with parameters Beta (1.1, 20); μ - normal probability distribution with parameters Norm (a, 10w) with a and w being the mean and standard deviation obtained from each experimental data set {xi, ni, yi} as follows: a = ∑qi xi, w=pi(xia)2, and qi = ni/∑ini; σ - gamma probability distribution with parameters Gamma (aG, bG) fixed at aG = 1 + w/bG and bG=(51)w/2 such that the mode and variance of the Gamma distribution is w.
