Popis: As an example for the third point, we refer to an ongoing research debate about the time course for early visual processing. For the detection and discrimination impairment of a stimulus by a closely followed second stimulus, two competing models exist (U-shaped vs. monotonically increasing, see [3]) that had been related to special types of experiments each. Recent experimental results, however, demonstrate severe violations of these experimental assumptions [4,5], but the question whether any of these two models is appropriate at all remains open. A suitable nonparametric inference might help to find better descriptions of the experimental data and finally to develop new models with only a few parameters.
