Figure 1

The three algorithms discussed in the study. Path ‘A’ is the base iterative algorithm, which is described in detail in the text, the path ‘B’ differs only from ‘A’ in Step 3 (see the description in the text), and the path ‘C’ is dedicated to a constant covariance matrix. Both ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ are repeated N times in the Monte Carlo framework.
