Covariance parameters for the interactive effect of condition and time (study day) predicting daily self-reported depression.
| Parameter | Estimate (SE) | Z valuea | P value |
| Intercept | 0.566 (0.191) | 2.97 | .002 |
| Covariance (I,S)b | −0.007 (0.005) | −1.49 | .14 |
| Study day | 0.000 (0.000) | 2.19 | .01 |
| Residual (VCc) | 0.505 (0.027) | 18.92 | <.001 |
aThe Z value represents the test value of the z distribution on which statistical significance is determined for this analysis.
bCovariance between the random parameters for intercept and slope in the multilevel model.
cVC: variance component (method for structuring the covariance matrix).
