Parameter estimate | SE | Type III SS | Significance | |
---|---|---|---|---|
SE, standard error for the parameter estimate; SS, sum of squares; BMI, body mass index; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; 6MWT, 6 minute walk test. | ||||
All of the effects were examined simultaneously (that is, the magnitude of each main effect or interaction was examined after controlling for all the other main effects and interactions). | ||||
The total sum of squares was 6.83; R2 estimate = 0.31. | ||||
The following variables were included in the full model but excluded because they failed the significance limit (p<0.15): history of IHD, Tlco % predicted, SGRQ composite score. | ||||
