Comparing Nested Random Effects Structures (with cohort weight argument)

Updated Exclusion Criteria:

• 5-responses required
• No requirement for number of exams

Updated Sample Sizes:

• Exploratory: N = 75 (previous: N = 44)
• Confirmatory: N = 81 (previous: N = 51)

New Gammas Fit to Full Exploratory Data Frame:

• PA: 0.85
• NA: 0.91
