From: The emergence of polarised groups through source filtering

Fig. 5

Each panel shows 100 simulations runs, with the means of all frequencies in bold, along with a shaded area showing the standard error of the means. In the left panels, there are two belief pairs and in the right panels there are three. In all panels, α1 = 1. The parameter values are: a α0 = 0.001, β = 0.0001, μ = 0.001 and N = 100; b α0 = 0.01, β = 0.001, μ = 0.001 and N = 100; c α0 = 0.001, β = 0.0001, μ = 0.0001 and N = 1000; d α0 = 0.01, β = 0.001, μ = 0.0001 and N = 1000; e α0 = 0.001, β = 0.0001, μ = 0.0001 and N = 100; f α0 = 0.01, β = 0.001, μ = 0.001 and N = 100; g α0 = 0.001, β = 0.0001, μ = 0.001 and N = 1000; h α0 = 0.01, β = 0.001, μ = 0.0001 and N = 1000.
