Generated distributions of final fitting error using heuristic (top row) versus random (bottom row) sampling strategies. Each distribution is the result of 100 iterations, with (a) 3 measurements at 8 evenly spaced locations; (b) 3 measurements at 11 evenly spaced locations; (c) 3 measurements at 8 randomly selected locations; (d) 3 measurements at 11 randomly selected locations. Iterations were run on datasets corresponding to the given hypothesis (blue) and the alternative-unknown hypothesis (green), and for each of the resulting generated datasets the final hypothesis fitting error was computed. The blue and green dashed vertical lines show the representative fitting error for the null and alternative dataset respectively, i.e., the fitting error if all possible (220) measurements in that dataset were collected
