138 But if the null hypothesis is rejected, alternate models that account for autocorrelation must be adopted. The estimated coefficients of the regression equation indicate
the intervention effects, either positive or negative in terms of the level-change and the slope-change coefficient. The coefficients from independent crews were then used to compute the overall level change test statistic using the reciprocal of error variance as shown in Equation 3.
