First-order linear regression analyses were applied so that \( \widehat{p} \) = a × (drawdown rate) + b, where Σ(\( \widehat{p} \) − p)² is the minimum. R² and p-value are not shown for T1b because the correlation analysis is not applicable to a zero-slope line. Due to the small sample size, correlation analyses were not conducted for T7-T10.
