NA, not applicable.

a

Value for treatment group is significantly different than that for the control group.

b

Proportional reduction in FEC is defined as 1 because proportion is calculated relative to the control group.

c

P values indicate the probability that each treatment did not reduce FEC or shedding probability according to the posterior distribution of each treatment effect.
