Details

The following results are formatted and printed to the screen: the matched call, coefficient estimates and confidence intervals for each model term of interest, estimated p-value for jointly testing that the parameters of interest are simultaneously equal to zero, full conditional p-values from separately testing each parameter equal to zero, length of the Markov chain that inference was based on, and the Monte Carlo standard error of each reported p-value.
