  1. Each entry consists of the mean of the marginal posterior distribution (minimum mean squared error estimator) and the 95% credible interval of the form \([2.5 \text { percentile}, 97.5 \text { percentile}]\) of the marginal posterior distribution. All parameters except for \(\xi\) are fitted to data from Mbita; \(\xi\) is fitted to data from Bagamoyo. The estimate of \(\xi\) obtained from the spatial repellent experiments is also taken to parameterise the push–pull system, as the push–pull experiments were not concluded in Bagamoyo
