Table A3 The p-value of the statistical tests for the significance of differences between different curves, as well as differences between their values and zeros, for different factors that are being studied. Bold font indicates that a null hypothesis of no difference can be rejected at the 5% significance level. Notice that for 3-category comparisons we report the statistical significance directly because there are no p-value for the pairwise comparison
