Fig. 9

Parameter inference under misspecification of the cell pool size: parameters are estimated for two datasets, one generated based on a pool size vector \(\vec{n}_\text{small}{}\) with values between 1 and 10 (left violin in each panel); the other one based on a vector \(\vec{n}_\text{large}{}\) with values between 10 and 50 (right violin in each panel). From left to right: Estimates of \(p,\,\mu _1,\,\mu _2\,\text{and}\,\,\sigma\). The violins depict estimates across 1000 estimation runs, where each relies on a randomly sampled misspecified pool size vector as described in the main text. Orange: True parameters values. Light blue: Estimates without misspecification of the pool size vector
