Computational time (in seconds) for the four combining methods.

<p>Computational times, in seconds (rounded unless less than 1 second), for the four methods of the R package parallelMCMCcombine, using simulation data and <i>T</i> = 50,000 MCMC samples. The values in parentheses are for our example data sets; <i>d = </i>2, <i>M = </i>5 is for the Gamma model, and <i>d = </i>5, <i>M = </i>10 is for the logistic model. The results are based on a computer with operating system Windows 7 and an Intel Celeron 1007U CPU 1.5 GHz Processor.</p><p>Computational time (in seconds) for the four combining methods.
