a: The functional traits are uncertain variables. The contingency matrix 
and the prior information 
are used in the Dirichlet law to compute the trait variables 
for each tree. b: Parameters 
of the model are estimated using a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with proposal law 
. Parameters 
and traits 
are then used in the final model to compute the mortality measure 
for each tree.
