In Gu, Taylor, Cheng & Mukherjee (2019), four notations used in Appendices A1, A2 and A3, namely Ω, 𝜔 2 , 𝜎 2 and 𝜂 2 , should have been replaced by some of the existing notations. The correct notations that they correspond to are listed as follows:𝛽 , as introduced in equation ( 5) in the main paper; • 𝜎 2 = 𝜎 2 𝛾 , as introduced in equation ( 6) in the main paper;𝜃 , as introduced in equation ( 7) in the main paper.Note that all the results in Appendices A1, A2 and A3 were correct and were not affected by the notation correction. The corrected Appendices A1, A2 and A3 are attached below.
