The heuristic parameter searching algorithm quickly identified the best or nearly best among all the candidates after a few attempts.

The horizontal axis represents the number of attempts in which an EqSet sequence is calculated on certain values of the 4 parameters. The number of attempts ranges from 1,000 to 50,000, with a step of 1,000. The vertical axis represents the number of the candidate parameter values for which the resulting p-values are no higher than those of the parameters suggested by the search algorithm. The algorithm was repeated 100 times at each attempt. The average ranks are shown by the line marks and standard deviations are shown with the error bars. The boxed off portion of the graph is zoomed in as a separate one to show more details.
