  1. gamma distributions are fitted to 500 simulations of LRT2p-con for the null hypothesis (β0,σ0,τ0) = (0,0, arbitrary) and of LRT2p-lin for the null hypothesis (β0,σ0,τ0) = (,0, arbitrary) where is the fitted parameter for the linear model. Models include "city" as a control covariate and are fitted at the optimal (integral) latency Φm for the site and dose range.
