Abstract

<p>For details in figure arrangement see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099571#pone-0099571-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>. This example shows that, even if detectability is heterogeneous, the hierarchical model has smaller bias and that this bias is reduced with the sample size.</p
