Model number corresponds to the description in “Results”. − 2 LL refers to the minus 2 log likelihood. df represents the number of degrees of freedom of the model. Δ − 2 LL refers to the difference in minus 2 log likelihood of the compared models. Δ df refers to the difference in number of degrees of freedom of the compared models. p corresponds to the p value of the difference in model fit between the compared models
