Notes. i indexes participants (N=364) and j indexes EMAs (N=32,329); Est. = undstandardized estimate (probit); Std. = standardized estimate; SD = posterior standard deviation; p = Bayesian one-tailed p-value; within paths control for the passage of time and width of interval; between paths controlled for race/ethnicity, age, sex, and cigarette availability.
= for positive values, the one-tailed p-value is the proportion of posterior distribution above 0;
= the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles in the asymmetric posterior distribution, credibility intervals (CI) that do not include 0 noted with an asterisk (*).
