−2LL, minus twice the log-likelihood; df, degrees of freedom; AIC, Akaike information criterion; χ2, difference in goodness-of-fit statistic between the submodel and the full model; Δdf, change in degrees of freedom between the submodel and the full model; A, additive genetic factor; C, shared environmental factor; E, nonshared environmental factor; IP, independent pathway; CI, confidence intervals; HD, hoarding disorder symptoms; BDD, body dysmorphic disorder symptoms; PD, panic disorder symptoms; GAD, generalized anxiety disorder symptoms; SP, social phobia disorder symptoms.

At the bottom of the table is presented the standardized parameters for each best-fitting model (checking + ADs and checking + OCRDs). Total A, C, and E do not sum to 1 due to rounding. Each parameter can be multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage (e.g., SP shows 40% of total A, 1% of total C, and 59% of total E).
