Returning to the emulated analysis, we imagine evaluating the product of PDFs in Equation~\ref{eq:prodpdf}, and plotting the resulting likelihood for $H_0$. This distribution will have some median $\hat{H_0}$ and 68\% confidence interval $\sigma_{H_0}$. From these values we define the precision (as already seen above) as   \begin{equation}  P = \frac{\sigma_{H_0}}/H_0^* \frac{\sigma_{H_0}}{H_0^*}  \times 100\% \end{equation}  and the bias~$B$ as  \begin{equation}
