b chosen in the range 5 – 44 years. to minimise transient model Deviance; where italicised φm minimises Dev subject to ERR ≥ 0, equivalent to σ ≥ 0.

c At φm, σ and τ are the fitted Maximum Likelihood Estimate parameter values.

d At φm, the likelihood ratio test LRTtrans-lin compares the transient with the linear model and LRTtrans-con compares the transient model with the control model. Each LRT is χ2 distributed on 1 degree of freedom.

e At φm, ERRD,φ is the Excess Relative Risk at Dφ = D, with 95% Profile Likelihood Confidence Interval.

f At φm, Dmax = 1/τ is the value of D which maximises ERRD,φ

g n/a indicates no lower limit could be calculated with 1 + ERR ≥ 0
