Figure 6

Median CSMF accuracy versus number of causes on a cause list for the KL method. The test datasets for this experiment were generated by randomly selecting a set of causes and constructing test datasets using an uninformative Dirichlet distribution. The KL method has excellent performance for short cause lists, but rapidly degrades as the length of the list increases.
