Notes: Y2 is the KABC injury; Y1 is one of “ran stop sign (RSS)” or “failed to yield at stop sign (FYSS)”; is the probability of Y1 when contributing factor X is at the base; is the probability of KABC injury when precrash behavior Y1 is at the base (i.e., “other behaviors”); ; ; some cells are empty due to the insignificant estimates ( value >0.1) from the models.
