Notes. Est. = undstandardized estimate (probit); p = Bayesian one-tailed p -value; i indexes participants (N=370) and j indexes EMAs (N=32,561); paths control for the association between previous lapse and precipitants, the passage of time, and the length of time between intervals

a

= for positive values, the one-tailed p -value is the the proportion of posterior distribution above 0

b

= significance

*

is determined by 95% asymmetric posterior distributions that do not include 0.

c

= cov(a, b ) added to each indirect estimate.
