Particular settings of Campbell and Steele (2012)’s method.

Abbreviation	Definition	Details
10C	10 Chains	When comparing methods, it was of interest to see how the performance depended on the number of parallel MCMC chains, as originally the authors used 4 chains
Obs20	20 Observations	Originally, the authors used 401 observations. This was reduced to a dataset size more usual with these types of experiments to observe the dependency of the methods on the amount of data
15K	15 Knots	The C&S method uses B-splines interpolation. The original tuning parameters from the authors’ paper were changed to observe the sensitivity of the parameter estimation from these tuning parameters
P3	Polynomial order 3 (Cubic Spline)	The original polynomial order is 5. Again, this was changed to observe the sensitivity of the parameter estimation from these tuning parameters
