Table 4. Summary of posterior distribution for parameters in the Bayesian model (see Figure 1) in France and Victoria & South Australia.

Region Parameter Posterior mean Posterior S.D. 95% Credibility Interval#
France Hyper-pop mean 1.26 0.105 (1.05, 1.47)
Hyper-pop variance 0.0868 0.0835 (0.0211, 0.270)
SSD variance 0.0517 0.00859 (0.0377, 0.0714)
Vic & SA Hyper-pop mean 1.41 0.114 (1.18, 1.65)
Hyper-pop variance 0.0893 0.096 (0.0201, 0.336)
SSD variance 0.0230 0.00341 (0.0173, 0.0305)

Values are given to three significant figures in log10 mS/cm.

Bayesian analysis produced credibility internal instead of confidence interval estimated by frequents analysis.
