Notes. For each case, the first three rows correspond to the free parameters of the model, and the remaining three are the derived parameters. The free parameters are assumed to have uniform priors with the ranges listed in the third column. The other columns show the input value for the mock generation and the recovered posterior mean value along with the 68% and 95% confidence limits on different parameters. The best-fit values are quoted in the last column.

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.
