By assuming RM AGNs follow the quiescent-galaxy M_BH-σ_* relation, the authors derive four versions of the virial factor f and report that FWHM-based f correlates with line width while line-dispersion-based f does not, consistent with inclination effects in a thick-disk BLR model.

Calibration of the virial factor $f$ in supermassive black hole masses of reverberation-mapped AGNs
By assuming RM AGNs follow the quiescent-galaxy M_BH-σ_* relation, the authors derive four versions of the virial factor f and report that FWHM-based f correlates with line width while line-dispersion-based f does not, consistent with inclination effects in a thick-disk BLR model.
