Parameter estimates for the AIC-best model, equation (1), evaluating difference in rate of change in annual skeletal extension over approximately the last century for nearshore and forereef colonies relative to backreef colonies.

Parameter estimates for a regression of the rates of change in annual skeletal extension for Siderastrea siderea cores collected from the backreef (“FR”; n = 3), nearshore reefs (“NS”; n = 3), and forereef (“FR”; n = 7). The estimates are for a random intercepts model with slopes varying by reef zone and in which the residuals were assumed to follow an ARMA(1, 1) process. σ2 is the residual variance, φ1 is the autoregressive parameter, θ1 is the moving average parameter, and τ2 is the variance of the random intercepts. Notation follows that shown in equation (1).
