Figure 5

Estimator Performance: 250 true hyper-parameter values plotted against their posterior mode estimates (stage 2 model). Panels (A), (B) and (C) are given samples sizes that are identical to the Marquesas sample sizes and are obtained with the hyper-prior of Z fixed at 7 (stage 2 model). Panels (D) through (I) are given samples sizes that are identical to the Hawaiian sample sizes and are obtained with the hyper-prior of Z fixed at 4 (stage 2 model). For each estimate, tolerance was 0.001 (2,000 accepted draws) using the local linear regression algorithm.
