Table 2.

Predicted values of $n$, ${\sigma }_0$, ${\dot{ϵ}}_0$, $\alpha$ and the associated largest value of posterior probability $p_1$ for Se obtained based on noise-free ‘experimental’ indentation responses. The predicted values obtained using the indentation depth versus time data (HT), using the residual surface profile data (S) and using both the indentation depth versus time data and the residual surface profile data (HTS) all coincide and are denoted by ‘all cases’.
