Four different thresholds were considered for each simulation setting: 1.40, 1.52, 1.75 and 2.05. These thresholds were chosen to represent an approximate increase of 20%, 30%, 50% and 75% in the valu

For each of the 9 sets of parameters (left column), 10000 samples of size 100 of the were simulated, F being the Log-normal distribution adjusted on Kelly and Rahn's data. The 95% confidence interval
*P(SC2) is the proportion of pseudo-observed simulated datasets using each competing scenario (SC1 to SC3) for which SC2 was selected because it had the highest posterior probability.‡For SC1 and SC3,
