Figure 2
Posterior distributions of latent variables conditioned on the responses of the CCA test for children (n = 167).
The latent variable represents a continuum of the infection severity characterized from the left to the right as to low or no infection up to high infection. The obtained scores in the horizontal axis are linked to ranking and not necessarily to the absolute displayed values.
