Comparison of case study analysis results.

Comparison of results from Williams and Thomas [20], Pike et al. [10], Borkin et al. [21] and Marques et al. [17] with results from fitting mixture model detection functions. Table columns give case study species, model fitted (In the table “(cont.)” denotes that the covariate was included in the model as continuous, otherwise covariates entered the model as factors; BBSn indicates Beaufort sea state with n factors); cos(x) indicates a Cosine adjustment of order x), difference in AIC from AIC-best model (denotes with ΔAIC = 0), average detectability, percentage coefficient of variation in average detectability and p-value from a Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. In each case the first line for each data set is the model from the original article and the subsequent models are in ΔAIC order. Mixture model components were selected by AIC (ΔAIC from best model is listed).Comparison of case study analysis results.
