Table 5. Modelled probability of the dog health status trend as personality index increases.

Effects of the model Level of effects of the model Estimate of the parameters Standard Error Wald Stat. Lower CL 95% Upper CL 95% P-value
Intercept 2.33878 0.75946 10.37931 0.91595 3.761604 0.001274
Personality index Two levels: worsened (0) and improved (1) -2.33303 0.992329 5.52750 -4.27796 -0.388099 0.018720
Breed Two levels: P (1) and M (0) 0.07985 0.363698 0.04820 -0.63299 0.792680 0.826230

P(H=1)=exp{0.75952.33(PI)+0.0798(PB)}1+exp{0.75952.33(PI)+0.0798(PB)}

PI = Personality index (continuous variable).

PB = Pure breed (discrete variable PB = 1; MB = 0).

H = Health status (dichotomous variable H = 0 worsened; H = 1 improved).

When the personality index (PI) increases and PB is equal to MB, P(H) increases.
