A Model-Based Bayesian Estimation of the Rate of Evolution of VNTR Loci in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Figure 4

Posterior predictive model checks.

Scatterplots of the posterior predictive distributions of (the difference between maximum and minimum range of repeat numbers over loci), versus (the same quantity substituting variance for range). Columns represent constant (left) and linear (right) models. Rows represent the Albanian dataset (top), artificially generated data from the constant model (middle) and artificially generated data from the linear model (bottom). The indicates the statistics derived from the observed dataset.
