Notes: B represents unstandardized regression weights. SE = standard error. β represents standardized regression weights calculated by the “lm.beta” function of the R package “lm.beta” [40]. \( {R}_{\beta}^2 \) = standardized coefficient of determination for fixed effects in the Linear Mixed-Effects Model defined by Edwards et al. [41]
