A named list containing at minimum ten elements: mu_p_estimate
and mu_p_se (population-mean ration), sigma_p_estimate and
sigma_p_se (among-individual SD), sigma_obs_estimate and
sigma_obs_se (observation SD), n_individuals (integer),
log_likelihood, aic, and bic. When population
uncertainty data are available, additional mean_*_est,
mean_*_se, mean_*_ci_lower, and mean_*_ci_upper
elements are appended for final_weight, consumption,
total_growth, relative_growth, gross_efficiency, and
metabolic_scope. Confidence-interval elements are also added for
mu_p, sigma_p, and sigma_obs. Stops with an error if
result was not produced by the hierarchical method.
