The models assume heterogeneous compound symmetric covariance structure, which allows different variance parameters (σ) per visit, and a single correlation parameter (ρ).
Adjusted for model-based simultaneous inference.
Residual standard deviation estimate at each visit.
Estimated correlation between visits.
