a
Data represent uniform prior distribution (Dirichlet) specifying between one and five S. enterica serotype Enteritidis phage types in contaminated egg-laying flocks. Weight = data from 5 flocks for prior distribution.
b
Specification of current belief. The cumulative sum of specifications indicates weight.
