Between area variance proportion, p⁽³⁾, according to ecological link β and ${\overline{E}}_h$

β(1)\${\overline{E}}_h^{(2)}$	2.33	23.35	46.6
0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00
0.12	0.03	0.25	0.40
0.21	0.09	0.50	0.67
0.33	0.19	0.71	0.83

⁽¹⁾β: Ecological link

⁽²⁾${\overline{E}}_h$: Harmonic mean of expected disease counts

⁽³⁾p = Bv/Var[log(${\widehat{R}}_i$)]: Between area variance proportion

^(*) : Indicator of p-value < 5% from McNemar's test (1)(2)(3) for comparing proportions 1 - π(0) under M₀ and BYM models.
