Context
I have a few plots that we wanted to see from last time, including the beta profiles, orbit fractions, and diagnostics relating to the mock kinematics.
One thing to note -- because we ended up switching from a stronger to a weaker regularization, resulting in us having to re-minimize the weaker regularization case for G3 and G5, I'll need to re-generate those outputs, but this should only take ~20 SU since it's only two models.
With that aside, there looks to be quite decent agreement between the input betas and the resulting betas from the fit; there's a similar story with the orbit fractions where things generally track one another.
With that said, I'm unsure if these plots are all that valuable to add to the paper? They certainly seem to show we're not simply reproducing exactly our inputs, but beyond that, I'm unsure if they provide real new information or value.
Plots
First, here are the beta profiles for the different mocks, with the input betas in black
Plot
Here are all the mean betas plotted on the same plot -- there's quite a bit of overlap in these different cases.

And here's a similar plot to the first but for the orbit fractions. I need to come up with a more clever way to plot this however.

Kinematic Diagnostics
First, here are some plots showing the mock galaxy kinematics we are trying to recover for each G and each R

r5
I've also plotted the outer 8 sigma values vs. M15 and as a function of regularization strength -- it does seem to be the case that the stronger regularization inflates the outer sigma, as does M15

And here are the simulated data we are trying to recover for each G/r on top of one another -- I removed the errors and tried to choose a moderately better color scheme!
