“…The proper assessment of prior parameter uncertainties is significant for the subsequent analysis steps, but usually difficult and laborious. The hindered settling parameters (v 0 , r h ) are well reported in previous studies (Pl osz et al, 2011;Ramin et al, 2014a), while the compression parameters (C g , a, b) remain poorly understood. Table 2 gives the parameter uncertainties used in this study, which are reasonably estimated based on literature reviews and modeling experience.…”
