Posterior distributions p ( u j , v j |{ ln| cn =  j }).(a): Contour plots of the posterior distributions p(u j ,v j |{ln|cn = j}). For each group, we show an ellipse centred at the mean and enclosing 95% of the distribution. (b): Linear transformation of chronological age a, u j a+v j , for 100 pairs (u j ,v j ) sampled from p(u j ,v j |{ln|cn = j}) for Groups H (continuous blue) and SC (dashed-green), showing that uncertainty is higher at young and old ages and lower at middle ages.
