Model fit statistics (e.g., AIC or BIC) for logit regression under complex sampling are not yet available in the “survey” package. Sample includes only those who've moved ≥40 km with the selection of only one partner in cases of coresidential relationships. Estimates account for complex survey design and non‐response using the “survey” package in R (Lumley, 2018). Bold values indicate statistical significance at >95% level.
