Note. The base model includes the intercept and random effects represented as (Error Type | Subject). The subsequent comparison models show the individually added fixed effects in bold, with “*” representing the complete set of main effects and interactions. Improvements in model fit were evaluated using the change in the deviance statistic, which is distributed as chi-squared with degrees of freedom equal to the number of parameters added.
