DF: degree of freedom; Null: the null model with no factors; F: model 1, Fluence; P: model 2, PDT dose; O: model 3, [1O2]rx; F + P: model 4, Fluence + PDT; F + O: model 5, Fluence + [1O2]rx; P + O: model 6, PDT dose + [1O2]rx; F + P + O: model 7, Fluence + PDT dose + [1O2]rx. Likelihood ratio tests compare the multivariate models to the models with the same but fewer factors. A small p-value means the model with more factors is significantly better than the model with fewer factors.
