Are these data underdispersed? If so, what mechanisms may explain this?
As far as I can tell, this interpretation (as plateau/ asymptote/ max performance) implies sampling from a binomial distribution, which is really inconsistent with the underdispersion. … The literature on underdispersion appears to be very sparse. I found it consists mostly of simply finding distributions that can fit such data that lack any clear physical interpretation. …
