Confidence intervals for parameters of the regression analyses for the correlation of the Raven items with WMC (calculated from the short-term memory and relation integration tasks; N = 939) over difficulty of the items.
| Regression | Parameter | Point estimation value | 95% confidence interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linear [F(1, 34) = 0.55) | Intercept | 0.19 | [0.16, 0.21] |
| Slope | −0.019 | [−0.07, 0.032] | |
| Quadratic [F(2, 33) = 6.22] | Intercept | 0.14 | [0.11, 0.17] |
| Linear term coefficient | 0.31 | [0.11, 0.5] | |
| Quadratic term coefficient | −0.38 | [−0.6, −0.15] | |
| Segmented [F(3, 32) = 13.5] | Intercept | 0.15 | N/A |
| Breakpoint | 0.42 | [0.17, 0.66] | |
| Slope before breakpoint | 0.15 | [0.0036, 0.65] | |
| Slope after breakpoint | −0.35 | [−0.46, −0.065] |
Point estimation values are values of parameters fitted by regression which do not take in the account the error of estimation.
