Top panel: Posterior distribution summaries of the pulse parameters in Study 1 with comparisons between normal weight (NW) and obese (OB) women. Bottom panel: Posterior distribution summaries of the pulse parameters in Study 2 with comparisons between the joint and single hormone models. PM: Posterior median, 95% CI: 95% equal tailed credible interval, Δ : The difference in normal weight minus obese, PP: Posterior probability.
