The resultant terms of the partitions from the 3 step analysis of the CCHS data are shown. The `partition label' columns correspond to those in Figure 3, with the respective terms listed in the column to the right. An `&' symbol represents an additional peeling term added to a partition, while an `or' represents a pasting term. The symbols `=', `>', `<', `≠' represent logical expression relating a predictor and its chosen values. For the remainder partitions, those with an `R' in the partition label, a `not' expression is used to illustrate that individuals in that partition are those not a member of the ones listed. The table should be read across, such that if an individual is in partition 111 if they also fulfill the requirements of partitions 1 and 11.
