The parameter names are needed for interpreting the critical ratios in the following table:
Ignoring the 0’s down the main diagonal, the table of critical ratios contains 120
entries, one for each pair of parameters. Take the number 0.877 near the upper left
corner of the table. This critical ratio is the difference between the parameters labeled
