Notes. For the mixed models we give separately the number of pulsars from a semi-isotropic and an isotropic distribution (see Table D.1). For each model we give the best parameters and their approximate 68% range determined by setting Eq. (12) to unity. Within each sample we also give the differences in deviance dℒ (Eq. (13)) between each model and the model with a single isotropic Maxwellian, which gives an indication of their relative merits.
