Note: Δdf = difference in degrees of freedom comparing each model to the base model; Δ–2LL=log-likelihood ratio χ2 test comparing the –2LL fit of each model to the –2LL fit of the base model; –2LL= minus 2 log-likelihood. A = additive genetic influences; AIC = Akaike’s Information Criterion (lower values reflect a better fit); Base = comparison model (full ACE compared to saturated models and sub models compared to full ACE); C = common environmental influences; E = unique environmental influences; df = degrees of freedom; EP = number of estimated parameters; Sub 1 = Submodel 1 with equal thresholds across twin order; Sub 2 = Submodel 1 with equal thresholds across twin order and zygosity.
