TABLE 2.

Simulation study with Models A–D, the value of the true BMD, squared bias (×100) when using only the exponential and Hill models (R = reduced set) and when using the full family (F), likewise the variance (×100) and mean squared error (×100) for both sets, with a indicating the lowest values
