Posterior distributions of model parameters.

The results are shown for 6 model parameters, α, kLin, ψ2s2, c, IC and SC, whose posteriors changed significantly and consistently from their initially assigned uniform priors when the LF model was fitted to the baseline data in each study village. The results in the figure illustrate the estimated posterior parameter shifts for the village of Peneng. Dashed lines show the flat non-informative priors, while the bars denote the frequency distributions of the posterior values for each parameter. The parameter values along the x-axis are normalized for comparative purposes. The figures in square brackets at the top of each plot depict the actual range of the posterior values estimated for each parameter.
