Furthermore, the values of 𝜎 avg 2 , 𝜎 max 2 , and OMSE were in most cases lower with the ALC than with the ALM, independent of the criterion used, implying that, consistent with the theory, the ALC achieved a higher accuracy . Additionally, 𝜎 avg 2 and 𝜎 max 2 decreased monotonically with the iteration number, eventually reaching a plateau. We also found that all values of 𝜎 avg 2 were lower than 𝜎 avg,5ppd Interestingly, we also noticed that some values of OMSE were smaller than OMSE 10ppd (Figure (f) and Figure (e) and (f)).
