Example of annotated R code of model selection process

File contains an annotated example of the procedure for model selection we used to develop our statistical models. The example uses the data from the experiment to quantify growth rate. For a text summary of the model selection procedure and a description of the final, “best fit” model for each response variable please see Electronic Appendix B of "Speeding up growth: selection for mass-independent maximal metabolic rate alters growth rates" by Downs, Cynthia J., Brown, Jessi L., Wone, Bernard W. M., Donovan, Eward R., Hayes, Jack P.
