  1. k is the number of the dimension levels, i.e., k = 3 and k = 5 for EQ-5D-3 L and EQ-5D-5 L, respectively. Levels L1, …, Lk are ordered from least to most severe. For each level \( l=1,\dots, k,{f}_Y^{(l)}\;\mathrm{and}\;{f}_X^{(l)} \) denote the observed frequencies of the Y and X samples, respectively
