  1. The main analysis was repeated to compare four alternative assumptions of expected scaled seroprevalence, x '  i . Sensitivity analyses aimed at comparing 1. main models using Jeffrey’s prior distribution (beta(0.5, 0.5)) versus flat beta prior distribution (i.e. beta(1, 1)) for cumulative incidence, θ, and 2. main models which considered two sera versus three sera that tested positive for H7N9 at a HI titer of ≥40. Note: All results are expressed in the most credible estimate (95 % credibility interval), ISR infection-severity risk, IFR infection-fatality risk
