  1. The coefficients β 1,1 to β 1,10 describe the effect of each of the ten baseline covariates in Table 2. The tabulated P a  = P(Y = 1|R = 0,x) are obtained from equation (4) with logit(P(Y = 1|R = 1,x)) = logit(0.22)and the corresponding value of β 2. Statistically significant estimates, at the 5% level, are shown in bold and standard errors are in parentheses.
