Results for the osteoarthritis (OA) data set. Shown are treatment effects relative to placebo over time for 5 HY-0.5-0.73 (magenta), 4 HY-0.5-0.73 (black), 3 HY-0.5-0.73 (red), 3 HYGF20 (green), 3 HY-0.62-11.7 (blue) and 3 HY-2.4-3.6 (light blue) estimated by the B-spline model (left panel) and the FP model (right panel). Dashed lines denote 95% credible intervals, while solid lines represent the posterior means. Both models suggest that the best results are obtained by 3 HYGF20, in agreement with the result obtained originally for this data with FPs by [10]
