Table 1. Details of 100 idealized simulated datasets.
| p0 | h | s | |
| Parameter range | 0.01–0.04 | 0.2–0.8 | 0.1–0.3 |
| r * | 0.94 | 0.99 | 0.99 |
| TV (%)* | 91 | 92 | 97 |

The simulated datasets were used to check the precision and accuracy of the ML procedure.
*r correlation coefficient between original value and estimate, TV percentage of true values in the estimates 95% confidence interval and [ ] mean range value of the confidence interval.
