Fig 1.
Comparison of the three estimators of β = κ2/κ1 for 9 simulation scenarios.
Each boxplot summarizes values of the estimates of parameters β = κ2/κ1 that were obtained with the angular (Ang.), consensus (Cons.) and empirical SSF (SSF) estimation methods from 500 simulations under the discrete choice model (row 1), the consensus simulation model (row 2), and the angular simulation model (row 3). The red horizontal dashed line indicates the true parameter value.
