Estimator Performance: 250 true hyper-parameter values plotted against their posterior mode estimates (stage 1 model). Panels (A) and (C) are given samples sizes that are identical to the Marquesas sample sizes. Panels (B) and (D) are given samples sizes that are identical to the Hawaiian sample sizes. For each estimate, tolerance was 0.001 (2,000 accepted draws) using the local linear regression algorithm.
