The table includes standardized beta coefficients; The variables in square brackets were standardized. Beta coefficients were lower (pre-cut value) and upper (post-cut value) limit values; upper and lower values were calculated within the 95% confidence interval.
p < .01.
Total of direct and indirect effects.
The effect of the independent variable that does not depend on the external density tool role on the case.
The effect of the independent variable via density on the number of cases.
