All correlations were significant at P <0.001. Significant differences in the correlation coefficients within a given column (P < 0.05), as determined using the Hotelling method, are depicted by different superscript letters. Significant differences in SEE within a given column (P < 0.05), as determined using the Pitman’s test, are depicted by different superscript letters.
