+

, positive;

, negative.

a

The models assume heterogeneous compound symmetric covariance structure, which allows different variance parameters (σ) per visit, and a single correlation parameter (ρ).

b

Adjusted for model-based simultaneous inference.

c

Residual standard deviation estimate at each visit.

d

Estimated correlation between visits.
