Notes: β^k = regression coefficients; ***p < 0.01; **p < 0.05; *p < 0.10; SE = default standard error; F-statistic = F-test for overall significance of the regression; c = critical value for F-test; SSR = residual sum of squares; N = number of observations; F-ratio = F-test for comparison with model C; c = critical value for the F-test; SUBCUTANEOUS = dummy variable for subcutaneous delivery; INTRAMUSCULAR = dummy variable for intramuscular delivery; DOSFREQ = dosing frequency; PRODUCTBUND = dummy indicating whether the drug product is sold as a bundled product with some of the equipment and consumables used in drug administration; INDICATN = dummy for type of illness a product is clinically indicated for.
