Analysis of small unbalanced subsets of the coral stress data.

(a, c): Three heat shock protein genes plus one control gene (rpl11), analyzed using naïve, informed, and fixed model. (b,d): Analysis of only the three heat-shock proteins. (a,b) – effects of stress; (c,d) – effects of recovery. The points are posterior means, the whiskers denote 95% credible intervals. Bayesian analysis infers the same fold-changes regardless of specification of the control gene and even in its absence.
