Models include county-level measures of ASR, income and education as fixed effects and state as a random effect. Estimates and standard errors are displayed for each response variable. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is a measure of variance and describes how strongly those within a group resemble one another (0: not at all, 1: identical). The terms σ2 and τ00, State display the variance between counties and states respectively. Pseudo R2 values are also displayed.
