TABLE 2. Statistical Comparison of Models 1 Through 6.
Model | Description | −2LL | k | LR | Δdf | p | AIC |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Model 1 | Saturated model | 15,097.344 | 28 | — | — | — | — |
Model 2 | Means equal for Twins 1 and 2 | 15,101.134 | 24 | 3.790 | 4 | .435 | −4.210 |
Model 3 | Means equal for monozygotic and dizygotic twins | 15,099.980 | 24 | 2.636 | 4 | .620 | −5.364 |
Model 4 | Means equal for induction and follow-up | 15,171.044 | 24 | 73.700 | 4 | <.001 | 65.700 |
Model 5 | Variances and covariances equal for monozygotic and dizygotic twins | 15,340.484 | 18 | 243.141 | 10 | <.001 | 223.141 |
Model 6 | Bivariate ACE model, means differ only between baseline and follow-up | 15,122.444 | 11 | 25.100 | 17 | .092 | −8.900 |
Note. The table presents the following values: −2 times the log likelihood (−2LL), the number of free parameters in the model (k), the results of a likelihood ratio test (LR, distributed as a chi-square statistic), the change in degrees of freedom of the saturated model and submodel (Δdf), the significance of the chi-square test (p), and an index of the balance between goodness of model fit and parsimony (Akaike's information criterion, AIC). The bivariate ACE model includes additive genetic factors (A), shared family environment (C) and nonshared environment (E).
