TABLE 4.
Posterior 95% intervals for the patient effects for various modeling/prior choices for the full model with spatial correlation, patient dependent variance and informative observation location. “Ref group” refers to the response that has slope bj fixed to one, “u, v” and “w” are the hyperparameters for the covariance parameters and regression coefficients, respectively, as described in Section 2.3.To facilitate comparison across reference groups,the intervals for β/b1 are presented
