Note. -2LL=Likelihood Statistic. χ2=Chi-square fit statistic. df=Degrees of freedom. AIC=Akaike's Information Criterion. rg=genetic correlation, rc=shared environmental correlation, re=nonshared environmental correlation. Best fitting model indicated in bold.

a

Overall fit of the model is determined by the difference in -2LL of the model and that of a saturated model.

b

Relative fit of the model determined by the χ2 difference (Δχ2) between full bivariate ACE model and reduced model.
