Behavior of relative to the uniform distribution under Scenario 3, based on the frequency of values found at the 5% extremities of the unit interval, depending on the interval of the statistical prior sharpness parameter (in rows) and off-centering parameter (in columns).

Frequency () of that are at the 5% extremities of the unit interval, for the Poisson model with under Scenario 3, according to the values of and , for 100,000 different simulated datasets. Similar results were found for other t functions and for the Poisson distribution, with more significant results for certain other t functions when and (see Text S3). NOTE: The notation system for the significance of the tests and the negligibility of departures from expected values are as in Table 3. Qualitatively similar results were found for and . For and , results were much less strongly and much less frequently significant.
