Note: “Best-fitting model” marked in bold letters. Each model is tested against previous model with more estimated parameters. The model name implies which parameters that are included, it is stated as ACMPE – ACMPE, where the first five letters tells us which of the variance parameters in general cognitive functioning that are included (i.e., , and ), and the five last letters tells us which of the cross-phenotype parameters that are included (i.e., rA, rC, rM, rP, and rE). All of the variance parameters in maternal smoking during pregnancy are included in all models.
