Estimates and confidence interval for the fixed-effect “location” and the end point minimal blood velocitya

  • a Location II is taken as base. This means that the estimate of the increase/decrease from I (respectively III) to II is calculated by comparing the blood velocity at segment I (respectively III) with the blood velocity at segment II (Intercept).
