Results from the ANOVA models.

Model: difference or absolute difference between estimates by indicator, geographical level difference (0,1,2+), year difference (continuous), and season (same season, different season, season unknown - in NGO vs DHS/MICS comparison only).

DHS: Demographic and Health Surveys; MICS: Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys; NGO: non-governmental organization; ANOVA: Analysis of Variance.
