The estimate and SE values are reported at the point where the fixed term was either removed from the model (with P > 0.05) or retained (with P < 0.05) under stepwise model simplification. Constant values reported from the minimum model (with only significant terms retained). df, degrees of freedom; SE, standard error.

aValues reported from a full glmmPQL model (see Methods for details).
