  1. Notes: Entries without parentheses are posterior means and entries with parentheses are posterior standard deviations. The parameters were estimated using the MCMCmixfactanal in the MCMCpack in R3.1.2. Items are ordered by the degree of discrimination. Estimations with a significant portion of their posterior mass to the left of zero are in italic and placed last. Aspects of monitoring the private market are: Legal Framework (LF), Control and Inspection of the Supply Chain (SC), and Pharmacovigilance (PV)
