Dataset κ η mean variance
Italy 2.2 (1.7–3.0) 0.18 (0.14–0.22) 5.0 (4.0–6.3) 5.9 (3.5–11.7)
British Columbia 1.6 (1.1–2.5) 0.11 (0.07–0.16) 8.4 (5.7–12.1) 29 (12–84)
Gelderse Vallei 2.9 (1.9–4.1) 0.46 (0.29–0.59) 1.9 (1.5–3.1) 0.51 (0.23–2.2)
Limburg 3.3 (1.6–8.3) 0.26 (0.19–0.38) 3.4 (2.3–4.9) 1.3 (0.37–5.1)

Shown are the maximum likelihood estimates (95% confidence intervals) of the parameters κ and η, and of mean and variance of the resulting distributions.
