From: Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting hidden Markov models to multi-state capture-recapture data of invasive carp in the Illinois River

A comparison of the expected stable distributions based on movement alone for each method. Each bar represents the expected proportion of an initial silver carp population that would stabilize in each pool based on the maximum likelihood (MLE), Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and Coulter et al. [9] movement probability estimates. The totals of these bars for each method sum to one. There are notable differences in the expected stable distribution at the invasion front (Dresden Island) between these estimation methods, where no fish reach according to the MLE estimate but over 15% of all fish reach a stable state according to the previous Coulter et al. [9] results
