Confidence interval length. (a) Confidence (credible) interval length for several methods across all data sets (top left), and across data sets as classified according to the non-truncated Rogan-Gladen estimate. Traditional CI’s are generally shorter than the Lang-Reiczigel CI and the Bayesian HDI. (b) Comparison of the lengths of the Bayesian HDI and the Lang-Reiczigel CI for all data sets. Hexagonal binning is used to deal with overplotting, and the hex gray scale codes for the number of data sets that fall within it. A Deming regression is shown as a dashed black line, its slope is 0.955 with a confidence interval of (0.954, 0.957)
