βγ −0.41 U(−1.00, 1.00) Dependence of γDM on
ξγ −0.34 U(−1.00, 1.00) Dependence of γDM on galaxy size
σγ 0.06 U(0.02, 0.50) Intrinsic scatter in γDM
log αsps 0.10 U(0.00, 0.25) Log of the stellar population synthesis mismatch parameter

Notes. Column (2): true values of the hyper-parameters. For the hyper-parameters relative to the inner dark matter slope, these are defined by fitting the model directly to the distribution of MDM, 5 and γDM. Column (3): priors on the hyper-parameters. Columns (4) and (5): median, 16th and 84th percentile of the marginal posterior probability distribution of each hyper-parameter given the full dataset (image positions and radial magnification ratios) and image position data only.
