Posterior standard deviations are the standard deviations between the stored rounds of the Gibbs sampler. The model¹ is included as a subscript.

¹ Models: (2) Bivariate model including growth and liability of being healthy; (3) Extension of (2) where sexual maturation is included as a third trait; (4) An extension of (3) to also include a survival-model with genetic effects; (5) An extension of (4) to include a genetic effect of growth in runts as well as in healthy animals.
