Interpreting categorical coefficients
In your Bayesian model, \(m\)i \(= a + b X\)i specified the dependence of typical trail volume on weekday status \(X\)i (1 for weekdays and 0 for weekends). A summary()
of your RJAGS model simulation provides posterior mean estimates of parameters \(a\) and \(b\), the latter corresponding to b.2.
here.
