Table 3 Predicted measured increase difVeDBA (g) per km/h for each collar size (S1–S5) and weight (W1–W5) combination with predicted standard error

From: Best practice for collar deployment of tri-axial accelerometers on a terrestrial quadruped to provide accurate measurement of body acceleration

S2	0.014 ± 0.007^a	0.018 ± 0.008^a	0.015 ± 0.01^a	0.031 ± 0.01^b	0.045 ± 0.006^c
S3	0.010 ± 0.008^a	0.011 ± 0.008^a	0.010 ± 0.01^a	0.023 ± 0.01^b	0.038 ± 0.006^c
S4	0.029 ± 0.007^b	0.033 ± 0.009^b	0.030 ± 0.01^b	0.046 ± 0.01^c	0.060 ± 0.007^d
S5	0.023 ± 0.007^b	0.027 ± 0.008^b	0.024 ± 0.006^b	0.040 ± 0.006^c	0.054 ± 0.007^d

The size of the difference between values which represents the effect size of each combination is indicated; < 0.02^a, > 0.02 and < 0.035^b, > 0.035 and < 0.05^c, > 0.05^d
