  1. Shown are the Number of Providers (K), Average Mortality Rate Over Centers (p··), Percentage of True Outliers (P(out)), Factor by Which the Outlier Distributions Were Shifted (H), Amount of Sides That the Outliers Were Drawn From (S), Minimum Provider Volume (min(n k )), and the Probability of Outliers Being Small Providers (P(nmin))
