  1. Part-worth utilities should be compared within one environmental factor and one subgroup (not across factors and subgroups)
  2. aWithin one environmental factor and one subgroup, levels with an “ a ” do not differ significantly
  3. bThis represents for how many participants the choice predicted by the model corresponds to the actual choice of the participants
  4. CI confidence interval, RLH root likelihood
