Evaluated priors for the scaled precisions of f(si) and f(zi)
| a | b | U |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.00E-05 | 0.1 |
| 1 | 0.00025 | 0.5 |
| 1 | 0.001 | 1 |
| 1 | 0.025 | 5 |
| 5 | 0.185 | 0.5 |
| 12 | 1.01 | 0.5 |
| 20 | 2.24 | 0.5 |
The values are the shape a and the inverse-scale b of the gamma priors for τs and τz (the precisions of the spatially structure effect f(si) and the non-linear effect of elevation f(zi)), as well as the upper limit of the marginal standard deviation of the prior models U. For scaled models, a and b define U [36]. The prior value used for the rest of the results is shown in bold
