The nuclear transition matrix elements M{sup (0{nu})} for the neutrinoless {beta}{beta} decay of {sup 94,96}Zr, {sup 98,100}Mo, {sup 104}Ru, {sup 110}Pd, {sup 128,130}Te, and {sup 150}Nd isotopes in the case of 0{sup +}{yields}0{sup +} transition are calculated using the projected-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov wave functions, which are eigenvectors of four different parametrizations of a Hamiltonian with pairing plus multipolar effective two-body interaction. Employing two (three) different parametrizations of Jastrow-type short-range correlations, a set of eight (twelve) different nuclear transition matrix elements M{sup (0{nu})} is built for each decay, whose averages in conjunction with their standard deviations provide an estimate of the model's uncertainties.
