Summary
Por meio da Tabela 3, podemos verificar que a região Metropolitana apresenta igualdade com a região Norte Fluminense e com a das Baixadas Litorâneas, diferindo das demais. A região Serrana difere das regiões Metropolitana, Norte Fluminense e das Baixadas Litorâneas e não difere das demais regiões. A não inclusão na resposta do modelo da região Noroeste Fluminense fica mais claro quando verificamos que esta região apresenta igualdade tanto com algumas regiões do grupo de proteção (Norte Fluminense e das Baixadas Litorâneas) como com todas as regiões do grupo de risco (Baía da Ilha Grande, Centro-Sul Fluminense, Médio Paraíba e Serrana). -1.19E+01 -9.55E-06 1.07E-02 -7.16E-01 1.61E-03 -1.35E-04 5.47E-05 1.24E+00 7.49E-04 3.67E-04 9.19E-02 -2.98E-04 1.58E+00 -7.96E-01 2.05E-04 2.47E-02 3.73E-01 8.31E-01 4.29E-05 -2.30E-03 2.97E-02 -1.09E-02 -2.22E-04 0.000170647 -0.003304255 0.000187818 -0.317945302 -0.672015054 -0.249570712 -0.338708202 -8.85034E-05
