Prior densities of the marker-specific variance (solid circles, ν = 4, S = 1; solid curve, ν = 10, S = 1; crosses, ν = 100, S = 1) and values of integrand
in the Kullback–Leibler distance, for each of the three priors, shown as solid lines. The integrands are essentially indistinguishable from each other for all values of
