| Substance related disorders | Neurotic disorders | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Index | 95% CI | Index | 95% CI | |
| Random effects | ||||
| σs2 (neighbourhood variance) | 0.65 | (0.39 to 1.36) | 0.25 | (0.12 to 0.48) |
| φ (rate of correlation decay) | 0.0010 | (0.0004 to 0.0025) | 0.0054 | (0.0017 to 0.0088) |
| 3/φ (range of spatial correlation in m) | 2976 | (1200 to 7827) | 555 | (341 to 1734) |
| DIC* | 8162 | 3765 | ||
*The deviance information criterion (DIC) can be used to compare different models estimated for a similar mental health outcome, but not to compare models for different outcomes. The lower the DIC, the better the fit of the model.
