Table 3.
Estimated marginal means (EMMs) of the probability that the gastrointestinal system in the post-parvo dogs have owner-reported signs at follow up. The sample size includes 60 post-parvo dogs. Explanatory variables consist of factors with levels or covariates that are measured on a continuous scale that has units. For example, the factor ‘Purebred’ has two levels ‘Mixed’ and ‘Purebred’; the covariate ‘Body Temperature’ is measured in units of °C. For each row the estimated marginal mean (EMM), standard error (SE), and the lower limit (LL) and upper limit (UL) of the 95% confidence interval are shown
