The paper introduces a new formulation of a Bayesian hierarchical linear model that explicitly estimates optimum shifts for multiple species having symmetrical response curves. This new formulation, called Explicit Hierarchical Model of Optimum Shifts (EHMOS), is compared to a mean comparison method and a Bayesian generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) using simulated and real datasets. Fitting the models to the simulated data took several days. Here we provide the models' outputs needed to reproduce the results presented in the paper without re-running the models.
