Figure 3

Parameters α and β estimated by ML estimator. Box plots of estimated parameters of 100 runs each. The medians are depicted with circles. The bottom and top of the box are the 0.25-quantile and the 0.75-quantile, i.e. 50% of the values lie within the box. The whiskers mark the 0.025-quantile and the 0.975-quantile, i.e. 95% of the values lie between the whiskers. The horizontal red lines denote the true parameter values.
