Summary of MCMC Convergence Statistics Is Shown for Six Truth Model Test Cases

Test case	Dim. of param. space	Total iter. per chain	Burn-in iter.	# of chains to find true posterior (out of 10)	Converged iter. after thinning^a	# of minima found thus far
1	3	4,005	455	10	1,420	1 (true)
2	3	3,005	480	10	1,010	1 (true)
3	3	3,020	919	10	840	1 (true)
4	8	4,025	1,600	10	970	1 (true)
5	24	25,000	13,841	8	3,570	2 (inc. true)
6	36	105,000	56,400	6	11,664	4 (inc. true)

We used a thinning interval of 25 iterations.
