Summary statistics for all 15 COPE models for four outcomes, ordered by Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) from best to worst. Model identifies the clustering among outcomes; Outcomes 1–4 represent Social Support= 1, Positive Action= 2, Anxiety= 3 and Somatization= 4. AIC, Bayes Information Criterion (BIC) and −2 log L are in smaller-is-better form. Diff is the −2log likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic between each model and the saturated model 1, 2, 3, 4; df is the degrees of freedom for the test and the p-value comes from comparing the LRT statistic to the χ²(df) reference distribution. Columns labeled γ₁ to γ₄ are the estimates of the scale γ₁s from the link function; the γ₁s correspond to the outcomes in the order shown in the Model column.
