#> We fitted a linear mixed model (estimated using REML and nloptwrap optimizer)
#> to predict Pcv with dose and Drug (formula: Pcv ~ dose * Drug). The model
#> included Drug as random effects (formula: list(~1 | Drug:Region, ~1 | Region)).
#> The model's total explanatory power is substantial (conditional R2 = 0.89) and
#> the part related to the fixed effects alone (marginal R2) is of 0.58. The
#> model's intercept, corresponding to dose = h and Drug = BERENIL, is at 17.13
#> (95% CI [14.75, 19.51], t(17) = 15.19, p < .001). Within this model:
#> 
#>   - The effect of dose [h] is statistically significant and positive (beta =
#> 4.35, 95% CI [2.59, 6.11], t(17) = 5.20, p < .001; Std. beta = 1.04, 95% CI
#> [0.62, 1.47])
#>   - The effect of Drug [BERENIL] is statistically significant and positive (beta
#> = 7.15, 95% CI [5.23, 9.07], t(17) = 7.86, p < .001; Std. beta = 1.72, 95% CI
#> [1.26, 2.18])
#>   - The effect of dose [h] × Drug [BERENIL] is statistically significant and
#> negative (beta = -3.18, 95% CI [-5.68, -0.69], t(17) = -2.69, p = 0.015; Std.
#> beta = -0.76, 95% CI [-1.36, -0.17])
#> 
#> Standardized parameters were obtained by fitting the model on a standardized
#> version of the dataset. 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) and p-values were
#> computed using a Wald t-distribution approximation.
