  1. Parameter values used to generate data, prior distributions used for estimation, posterior median estimates together with 95% credibility intervals. Estimate 1, Estimate 2 columns relate to small (l = 5, n = 50) and large (l = 100, n = 50) sample sizes. Variance of the measurement was assumed to be known = 4. Estimated rates are per hour.
