Model estimating 3 year olds and older --- monotonic survey data

FIXME The plots in this section contain the following errors:

In this section we repeat the experiments of the model estimating only 3 year olds and older, with the difference being that the survey indices which are smaller in magnitude than subsequent indices for the same cohort are deleted.

This experiment is similar to this experiment for the model with two catchabilities.

Summary

:!: The estimates for this experiments are much more consistent than for the experiments with nonmonotone survey data. However, they are also usually lower, as can be seen by comparing the following table with the corresponding table here.
