Posterior predictive check comparing the actual distribution of luminosities for our sample (solid histogram) with the set of distributions generated by our black hole mass and Eddington ratio functions (red squares with error bars). The error bars contain 68% of the posterior probability. The distributions of luminosities generated by our model are consistent with the observed distributions, showing that our model provides an acceptable fit.
