CRD 01-15 Table 8

CRD 01-15 Table 8. Analysis of deviance for the sequential addition of each variable in the model. If Pr(Chi) is less than 0.05 then the last variable in the model is important and contributes new information even after adjusting for the previous variables already in the model. The other statistics provides are explained in Table 5.
