Posterior quantiles of the key parameters for the hierarchical model fit to 7 male leatherback turtles.

Deviations were calculated for each of the full tracks (Full track) and for only those segments of the tracks after the turtles had crossed to the southern side of the Gulf Stream (After GS). Asterisked parameters, e.g., , denote the posterior predictive distributions. The Minimum Posterior Predictive Loss statistic [10], , values were 16,345 and 8,789 for the Full track and After GS model fits, respectively.
