Available are convergence plots for the estimated fixed effects model parameters and the residual variance of the linear or linear mixed regression model. If the Box-Cox transformation is used for the transformation of the dependent variable, a convergence plot of the transformation parameter lambda is also available. In each of the convergence plots, the estimated parameter is plotted for each iteration step of the SEM-algorithm. Furthermore, the average up to iteration step M is plotted (without the burn-in iterations). A vertical line indicates the end of the burn-in period. A horizontal line marks the value of the estimated statistical indicator Furthermore, the estimated density of the simulated dependent variable from the last iteration step is plotted with a histogram of the interval-censored true dependent variable in the back.
