Table A2.

Normal Prior Definitions, $\left({\widehat{\overline{\beta }}}_{jk},SE\left({\widehat{\overline{\beta }}}_{jk}\right)\right)$, for all predictors included in the NSFG response propensity model described in Section 3.2. The table notes which categories served as reference categories in the prior generation process, and also notes how many responses (out of a maximum of 20) that we received for each category.
