Using a constant number of Q = 200 iterations per β, the contribution of each integration interval to the Bayes Factor value was calculated on a separate processor. This leads to an improved approximation of the contribution for the intervals [1.0; 0.9] and [0.1; 0.0] and also decreases the width of the confidence interval from 43.9 to 16.3. The decrement δβ was allowed to change and Q = 200 iterations were performed for each value of β. Q.E. is the quasistatic estimator for each integration interval with discrete and sampling error denotes by σd and σs, respectively.
