Posterior means and 95% credible intervals of scaling exponents (<i>b</i>) at different hierarchical levels. Andrew T. Tredennick Lisa Patrick Bentley Niall P.

The levels along the x-axis refer to levels in the hierarchical Bayesian model. The horizontal lines represent the theoretical predictions of the three scaling models (note that in D MST and GEOM make the same prediction, see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058241#pone-0058241-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>).
