Footnotes

This Commentary is a shorter version of Holland (2012a), which contains a fuller and more technical explanation of the modelling techniques used. It also draws heavily on two previous papers: Barrell et al. (2012) and Bagaria et al. (2012). We would like to acknowledge the significant contributions of our co-authors from both papers to this work. However, any errors in this current version of the paper are of course our own.
