Summaries of the full and most parsimonious (best; on the basis of BIC) models trialled for optimisation of ARMA structure, and fitted to the linear deviation of Argyrosomus japonicus from its average location along the length of the river (Dev).

The table shows complexity of ARMA structure in terms of AR (p) and MA (q) parameters included in the model (Order), the auto-regressive (AR, φn) and moving-average (MA, ϑn) correlation parameters, the terms retained in the model, and the BIC for each model. The best overall model is shown in bold.
