Left: prior used (black) and alternative prior—we show data from the model population, and the functions fit to them. Right: comparison to Bailer-Jones et al. (2018) distances or naïve 1/ϖ estimate (in both cases, dark line is the median, faint lines the 16th and 84th percentiles) as a function of our distance estimate. Our median uncertainty σ_s is also shown.
