I may be misspeaking, mb. I skimmed the vignettes, and with more review it isn’t what I thought, haha. Visually, even the point approximation (right figure) does fairly well for this type of data, usually the details are lost ime. Left: spaghetti plot, 400 traces; right: pointwise intervals.

Thank you, I guess that’s fair. I only saw this blurb summary that did not include that detail, since the article is not open access. shrug I’ll be curious why they used model 1 at all, and whether their findings/summary were based on Model 1 or 2.

I still don’t quite understand charging for color figures. That said, is it just me, but for a black and white figure the bottom plot panels are well done.
