Trace plots for the instructor analysis. The beta parameters (1–11) correspond to the regression coefficient of the intercept, tenured faculty, lecturers, GTAs, females, reports of student-centered practices, success perception, 60–80% of students prepared, 40–60% of students prepared, and <40% of students prepared, respectively. The grayed iterations indicate those iterations that were removed from the analysis for burn-in. None of the plots suggest problems with convergence of the Markov chain
