		| Abstract: | 
		The ages of white dwarfs are of great importance in stellar evolution. Si et al. developed a novel approach to increase the precision of such estimates by combining multiple white dwarfs in a Bayesian hierarchical model.  In this paper, we further investigate the robustness of the Bayesian hierarchical model by performing a simulation study. |
