Mean plots of the estimated autocorrelation parameter ρ among 100 replications against each level of density in C (Δ(c)) at each level of population γ. Bars represent upper and lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval around the mean. Asterisks indicate that upper bound of the 95% confidence interval fall below the given population value of ρ. Event size was specified as 10 (K=20). Δ(c)={0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90} where the corresponding estimated λ values are {3.54, 4.98, 6.08, 7.07, 7.89, 8.66, 9.39, 10.05, 10.64, 11.22, 11.81, 12.43, 12.95, 13.54, 14.08, 14.66, 15.13, 15.71}.
