Figure 9.
Posterior distributions and MCMC chains of the group-level model parameters in the Bissett and Logan (2011) data set obtained with the hierarchical BPA. The first and third rows show posterior (black solid line) and prior distributions (black dotted line) and MCMC trace plots for the group-level mean parameters, respectively. The second and fourth rows show posterior and prior distributions and trace plots for the group-level variability (i.e., group-level standard deviation) parameters, respectively.
