Comparing different stimulus models for Npas4 smFISH data. We applied the BIC, AIC, and DIC metrics to the Npas4 BayFish results obtained with the different parameter-stimulus models listed on the x-axis. For each parameter-stimulus model, three replicas of BayFish were run with different initial conditions. The Bayesian posterior distributions for each parameter-stimulus model are shown in Additional file 1: Figure S1.
