Internal parameter correlations (Spearman rank coefficients, r) for the different attenuation-curve parameterizations under varying dust compositions. Each panel shows the correlations among free parameters for all three functional forms (Li+08, Salim+18, and the new model). For clarity, only the lower triangular portion of each symmetric correlation matrix is displayed. Similarly, we only print numerical values if ∣r∣ ≥ 0.2. The structure of the correlations differs across dust models, particularly for parameters associated with the UV bump (c4, B, B0, and B2), indicating that no universal reparameterization can be defined across dust compositions.
