  1. Legend: Although models for up to 10 clusters were fitted, only the first three had at least one model with non-zero weight and we only show models for up to 4 clusters in the table. The model codes relate to, in order, the volume, shape and orientation of the clusters: E denotes equal and V variable such that VEV, e.g., is a model with clusters of equal shape but different volume and orientation. BIC values and weights are only given if model weights were non-zero.
