Theposteriormeanestimates for the residual and genetic correlation agreed very well with the simulated value of 0.0.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theposteriormean(standard deviation) of the additive genetic variance was 0.28 (0.06) for litter size and 0.07 (0.01) for the asymmetry parameter.
From theCambridge English Corpus
On the other hand, the opposite effect is observed with prior (c), for which theposteriormeanestimates of additive variances decreased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is because the three-way interaction between trade, income, and the human-capital-adjusted capital-labor ratio has a positiveposteriormean.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Compared with the narrow prior for allelic number, the wide prior led to a lowerposteriormeanfor the allelic number.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Finally, using formula (9), theposteriormeanestimate of the variance for the asymmetric distribution under model 2 was 4.75 (with a posterior standard deviation of 0.04).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theposteriormean(and standard deviation) estimates for the additive genetic and permanent environmental variances of the degree of asymmetry were 0.07 (0.01) and 0.05 (0.01), respectively.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theposteriormeanestimate of the variance of the effects associated with the markers was 0.026 (0.014) and the posterior mean estimate of the residual variance was 4.59 (0.48).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Moreover, theposteriormeanestimate of the variance pertaining to the effects associated with the markers was 0.411 (0.144), and the posterior mean estimate of residual variance was 45.64 (4.63).
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is not a terribly good approximation, but it suffices if all that is desired is an estimate of theposteriormeanand variance.
From
Wikipedia
The posterior precision is simply the sum of the prior and likelihood precisions, and theposteriormean is computed through a precision-weighted average, as described above.
From
Wikipedia
Naturally, the posterior means of the variances are smaller when inferences are based on the truncated data set.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Alternative levels of aggregation (and hence different degrees of oversampling) generate remarkably stable outcomes in terms of posterior inclusion probabilities and posterior means.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Nevertheless, all other variables that have been shown to be robustly related to pollution remain strongly significant and their posterior means are surprisingly stable.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Moreover, around 88 % of the data were associated with negative posterior means for the degree of asymmetry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For the genetic variance, the posterior means for trait 1 and trait 2 decreased and increased when the number of genes increased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The posterior means are calculated as the average of sampled parameters and 95 % credible intervals are based on the sample 2.5 and 97.5 % quantiles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Hence, the posterior means and variances are simply the first and second moments of each individual model, weighted by the model's 'quality', as given by its posterior probability.
