Sensitivity Analysis of prior hyperparameter effects on the model selected in the Pleural Effusion case study. Notation: c is a dispersion parameter in the prior of β(ηg), given in (5) and (zg1, zg2) are the beta prior hyperparameters on wg, the probability that ηg,k = 1 for k = 1, ..., p, given on page 4.
