  1. Data shown are parameter estimates and 95% confidence intervals (2.5 and 97.5% quantiles obtained from 5000 MCMC simulations)
  2. *indicates a p-value < 0.05
  3. Rho is the endogenous interaction effect, the spatial autoregressive parameter indicating the intensity of the interaction between neighboring PAH rate observations
