Comparison between the slopes estimated by the different models in the artificially shifted series and the original series. Note that the artificial series are shifted downward towards lower values. The censored models are less affected by a positive bias on the negative slopes compare to the Hi-linear model. The average bias for the negative and for the positive slopes is reported in the figure. Hi = Hierarchical; HSK = Heteroskedastic.
