Note(s): The table shows estimated average partial effects. Effects of explanatory variables with marginal probability values of 10% or less are typed as italic face and significance is encoded as: “***” 0.01 “**” 0.05 “*” 0.10. The sample size in Models 1 and 3 is 233 cases, since 9 cases were excluded because of missing values on some explanatory variables and 2 more outlying influential cases were dropped from the 244 cases original data set. In Model 2 the sample size is reduced to 211 cases when the response variable is relative success, because in this case only all-or-nothing campaigns are considered
