The Bayes factor for the piecewise (two populations) and single population model. Each curve corresponds to different assumed orbital inclination errors (1°, 5°, 10°) to test the sensitivity of our Bayes factor calculations. The data in JA20 assumed no orbital inclination error (black curve, same as Figure 5). With errors included, we find that a peak remains at 31–38 au, although they are only supported with substantial evidence.
