Notes. Uniform priors are given as ranges in square brackets, while Gaussian priors are given by their mean and standard deviation in parenthesis. We also give the fixed values of parameters that are not allowed to vary in the baseline likelihood.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
