Table 2 Posterior decay rates estimated across markers. “λ1” is the decay rate for the first phase of the exponential decay; “λ1 2.5%” and “λ1 97.5%” represent it’s 95% confidence interval; “tx” is the time break at which the decay rate was found to change from the first phase to the second; and “λ2” is the decay rate for the second phase of the exponential decay. NA values indicate no detections were made at the relevant timepoint, making values unidentifiable.
