Inter-quartile distance (IQR) is used as a robust measure of dispersion. In the table, IQR(S n ) is the training data’s IQR, followed by the 95-th credible interval, and the posterior predictive P-value. In cases where the P-value is close to 0 or 1, the true test statistic’s distance from the 95-th credible interval can be used to determine the magnitude of the mis-fit.
