F1 Sympathetic Factor, F2 Parasympathetic Factor, Ac common genetic, Cc common shared environment, Ec common non-shared environment, As specific genetic, Cs specific shared environment, Es specific non-shared environment. Parameters that were set to zero in the final model are indicated by dashed lines. The sum of A (total), C (total), and E (total) may sum to slightly more or less than 1.0 due to rounding of decimals
