*4.1. Human Partitioning*

The procedure starts with an optional human partitioning step identical to the initialization step S0 of the extended calibration method. Since managerial partitioning has shown to be relevant for the acceptance rate of the extended calibration method, an additional non-human partitioning phase—which is the reason the new procedure is referred to as *statistical* partitioning—will be added to further split the human-based partitions into subpartitions. In the computational experiments of Section 5, results of the statistical partitioning heuristic will be reported with and without the managerial partitioning step S0.
