The distribution of the main parameters (estimated with the Bayesian analysis for 186 galaxies in our final sample) is plotted in Fig. 5.
However, connected porosity as a main parameter for estimating pervious concrete efficiency was surprisingly influenced more by the aggregate type than the size.
Two are the main parameters to estimate when applying the BDS test, namely, the embedding dimension m and the distance ε.
For each stimulus type 2 main parameters were estimated: visual apprehension span, K, and visual processing speed, Cperipheral (defined as the sum of the processing speeds at each of the 5 stimulus locations).
Three main parameters were estimated: i) the date of growth/decline (τ=2μt) measured in units of 1/2 μ generations where t=time in years and μ=mutation rate per sequence per generation, initial population size (Θ i ) before the population growth/decline and a final theta (Θ f ) after population growth/decline.
The total volume of tephra is the main parameter used to estimate the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of an eruption (Newhall and Self1982).
In addition to the good agreement found for the parameter estimates, the main goodness-of-fit criterion of the FOCUS guidance, the (chi ^2) error level, also matched perfectly up to three significant digits between CAKE, gmkin and KinGUII in all cases where the parameter estimates were equal to three significant digits.
Following Pinheiro and Bates (2000), maximum likelihood (ML) fitted models were used when these models were compared, whereas models were fitted using the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) when we extracted parameter estimates (see main text).
Parameter estimates shown in main table with p values in parenthesis, the corresponding marginal effect at the mean for exposure to insurance is shown below the number of observations.
The models containing all risk factors are presented and only minor changes to the parameter estimates in the main findings resulted if insignificant terms were removed.
