Table 1 The estimated values of b for the number of states N = 2, ..., 25.

Estimated values of b
N	2	3	4	5	10	15	20	25
b	0.875	0.839	0.821	0.809	0.784	0.774	0.768	0.763

Table 1 lists the estimated value of b by using Matlab. For convenience, we only show the values for N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.
