Note
Several different tests were carried out, including spearman's rank-order correlations and logistic regression, to test the significance of the variables.
| Test Name | Support | Significance | Coefficient | Tail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UNKNOWN | Supported | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN |
| Variable Name | Variable Type | OCM Term(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental Extremeness | Independent | Climate |
| Mobility | Dependent | Settlement Patterns |
| Population Density | Dependent | Population |
| Subsistence Mode | Dependent | Annual Cycle, Diet, Food Quest |
