Taxon Base Rate Estimates for Taxometric Analyses

	Data Set
	Idealized Categorical	Idealized Dimensional	Representative Categorical	Representative Dimensional
MAMBAC	.497 (.065)	.514 (.030)	.206 (.068)	.302 (.107)
MAXEIG	.503 (.004)	.643 (.043)	.102 (.006)	.296 (.044)
L-Mode	.494^a	.500^a	.105^b	.361^b
Across Procedures	.498 (.005)	.552 (.079)	.138 (.059)	.320 (.036)

Notes: For MAMBAC and MAXEIG, values are M (SD) across curves. The bottom row presents the M (SD) of the three procedures’ estimates. MAMBAC = Mean Above Minus Below A Cut; MAXEIG = MAXimum EIGenvalue; L-Mode = Latent Mode.

Because estimates based on the locations of the left and right modes were very similar, the mean of these two estimates was used.

Because the location of the right mode was ambiguous (there was no local maximum), the estimate based on the location of the left mode was used.
