yield and order for each REC class, which is influenced by the amount of data (viz. contributing sites)
within each class. The REML model does not produce a coefficient of determination that can be used
to check of the goodness of fit of the model. However, goodness of fit was assessed using the
frequency with which observed yields fall within the mean yield estimated by the model and 95%
confidence interval for a class.

results fell into the MfE
‘Excellent’ air quality category. Three of the four
benzene results were within the MfE ‘Acceptable’
