- ¶The regression coefficient β refers to the change in the seroprevalence of A(H5N1) virus-specific antibodies. A negative sign for the coefficient β corresponds to a reduction in the seroprevalence of A(H5N1) virus-specific antibodies for given changes in the covariate, while a positive sign corresponds to an increase in the seroprevalence of A(H5N1) virus-specific antibodies
