The figure presents a comparison of methods for evaluation of the DMN log-likelihood function when the dispersion parameter ψ varies. For the mesh algorithm, the evaluation is accurate and stable when the dispersion parameter ψ approaches 0. The aod(dirmult) algorithm is unstable. The parameters are
