Table includes only correlations with P < 0.05. Results of all comparisons are included in Appendix 1.

L4P indicates parameter calculated from four-parameter logistic sigmoidal curve-fit equation.

AD indicates parameter calculated from average derivatives.

Indicates Spearman’s rho correlation. All others correlations are Pearson.

Bold indicates significant correlation after adjustment for multiple comparisons.
