Table 1. Posterior inferences of the coefficients (on the logit-scale) in the best Bayesian zero-one-inflated beta distribution model on blue sharks’ proportion of time spent at the surface (0–1 m).

The first model component estimates the mean (linear predictor) in the model, and the second and third component the probability of zero and one, respectively. The factor levels ‘off shelf’ and ‘time bin’ 2 (06:00–12:00) are the baseline values in the model and are included in the intercept. Time bin 3 is the time period 12:00–18:00.
