Random Effects Models for Hot flash Severity with Age as Predictor (β₂) and with Estrone and FSH as Covariates (β₃)

	Mean Values (p values)		Standard Deviations Number
Predictor	β1*	β2*	β3*	σ1**	σ2**	σε**	Women	Observations
Estrone (log10) (1.2)	0.37 (<.001)	0.08 (<.001)	−0.35 (<.001)	0.45	0.08	0.59	130	4827
FSH (log10) (1.1)	0.37 (<.001)	0.07 (<.001)	0.13 (<0.001)	0.44	0.09	0.59	130	4913

^*β₁, β₂, β₃ are the fixed effects (group averages) for the intercept, slope and covariate, respectively.

^**σ₁, σ₂, σ_ε are the random effects (variability) for the intercept, slope and residual error, respectively.
