a

Rescaled so that the plausible range is from 0 to 10 (original plausible range was from 0 to 1).

b

Missing data are imputed for these variables; χ2 statistic is estimated from (F statistic)×(dfnum), where the numerator degrees of freedom, dfnum=1 for continuous covariates, is given instead.

c

Likelihood ratio test of multilevel model with random intercept only against linear regression with fixed effects only.

d

Likelihood ratio test of multilevel model with random intercept and slope of year against multilevel model with random intercept only.

e

Values in bold indicate statistical significance at p<0.05.
