closeMinor typo in the definition of the effective number of data / sufficient statistic
Posted by epln on 02 Sep 2012 at 12:00 GMT
sufficient statistic
http://ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001048#article1.body1.sec2.sec1.p6
It is not possible to insert maths directly in this note but the correct expressions are publicly available at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1628657 , see p.36 (V.A).
Our sincere apologies!

As Dr. Payzan-LeNestour has indicated above, in the seventh paragraph of the Results section, there is an error in the equation defining the effective number of data and in the equation defining the sufficient statistic. Please view the complete, correct equations at the links below.
