Fig 3. Full posterior results for full MCMC and spatial stratification methods.

Posterior means and 95% credible intervals for α, β, and λ_z for the full MCMC and spatial stratification methods for 10 different epidemics simulated from the data augmented spatial ILM with varying values for m and ρ. The dashed, horizontal lines represent the true parameter values: α = 1.4, β = 2.3, and ${\lambda }_z=\frac{1}{3}$, with a population of size n = 625.
