aPosterior median of gamma, which can be taken as a point estimate of the causal effect. This estimate tends to be shrunk slightly toward zero compared with other methods. bThe P value for comparing the causal model with the sharing model. P < 0.05 indicates that posteriors estimated under the causal model predict the data significantly better than posteriors estimated under the sharing model.
