For the first scenario, the standard errors of estimates tend to be larger when
τ = —0.5 than the ones when τ takes other values. For the second scenario, the
standard errors of estimates do not vary much as the values of τ change.
Note that the parameter estimates are not necessarily monotonically increasing
or decreasing as the values of τ change.
Since it is the real data set, we loose the significant threshold of р-values to 0.15.
