The Parameter Estimates

The convergence of the estimates of some of the various parameters, in the main and null models, is displayed in figures 5.11, 5.12, and 5.13.

Having presented and discussed the results of the main experiments, it is now time to present results of some similar, earlier experiments; the primary use of these experiments will not be in inferring physical properties of samples, but in identifying imperfections in the experimental methods, the solutions to which motivate, and are built into, the experimental methods above.
