CI = confidence interval; −2LL = −2 X Log Likelihood; AIC = Akaike Information Criteria; ACE = additive genetic + shared environment + unique environmental risks; Trimmed = Borderline PD excluded ‘Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)’; Antisocial PD excluded ‘Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behavior as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.’
