a Hundred samples of the possible emergence curves drawn from the prior distribution of the parameters. The data are shown in black but unused at this stage. Note that all the curves are increasing—this is a prior knowledge built into the model. b One hundred samples of the possible emergence curves drawn from the posterior. The difference between a and b shows how much our belief about the parameters of the emergence curve changed as a result of observing the data (shown in black). c Comparison of two emergence curves by means of sampling from the posterior. One hundred samples shown for each variant. See “Methods” for a description of the experimental design
