Dose range: data on which the two-phase model is fitted, including "city" as a control covariate

Φm: latency, restricted to integers 5, 6,... 44, which maximises LRT2p-con subject to ERR1 ≥ 0

LRT2p-con: Likelihood Ratio Test comparison of two-phase and control models at Φm. p values derived from Table 8

LRT2p-lin: Likelihood Ratio Test comparison of two-phase and linear models at Φm. p values derived from Table 8

ERR1: Excess Relative Risk at 10 mSv, from the two-phase model fitted across the dose range with latency Φm, and its BCa 95%CI (5000 replications)

Latency range: integral latency range around Φm for which BCa 95%CI is strictly positive

*: BCa 90%CIs (5000 replications)

nl: integral latency range around Φm for which LRT2p-lin > 6

ERR0.025: as above, for 0.25 mSv (computed only when Dose range = 0-20 mSv)
