Jupiter-like probability
The primary reference [1] does explain the probability more exactly: "For a Jupiter mass planet in a Jupiter-like (12 yr) circular orbit, we estimate a 35% probability that such a planet is present based on the non-detection from our RV data." Alas, I have no idea what this really means - obviously there is not really a 35% chance for there to be a planet in that precise orbit. Expansion in this regard would be welcome.
