Table 2(a): each line corresponds to the values, corrected values, and adjusted- of each model () subjected to regression and cross-validation analysis.
Table 2(b): each line corresponds to the P values of each predictor for every regression model performed.
The different symbols denote the difference in significance: highest significance (), #middle range significance (), low significance (), and nonsignificant predictor ().
