We study the structure and kinematics of the AGN jet components from VLBI observations. One of the primary estimates in the study is the ejection epoch, i.e., the time when a superluminal jet component was ejected from the radio core. Linear regression is the widely used method to estimate the ejection epoch which is ideally the x-intercept obtained from fitting a straight line. Obtaining the errors or confidence interval on the x-intercept is a known calibration problem. We appoach this problem from the Bayesian perspective with the use of the MultiNest sampling algorithm.
