Table 2.

Parameter estimates from the best-ranked model for KI (n = 5) seals. Estimated values are given as the posterior mean, s.d. and median, along with the 2.5% and 97.5% credible limits (CL). Also shown is the proportion of posterior samples falling below (above) zero for positive (negative) median parameter estimates. Note for KI the best-ranked model is the full-covariate model.
