Model Parameters

SURPH.2 models the SURPH probabilities as a function of the model parameters. The model parameters are:

• The baseline probability defines the given probability for the first population and period.
• The main effects describe the difference of the given SURPH probability from the baseline probability.
• The group covariate coefficients describe the relationship between the group covariates and the SURPH probability.
• The individual covariate coefficients describe the relationship between the individual covariates and the SURPH probability.
