Candidate models of lynx survival from legal hunting during the lynx-hunting season in Norway.

All models were of the form , where the hazard rate is modelled as a function of the baseline hazard and a set of environmental factors : the Env model included environmental covariates at both large and fine scales, the Hier model included interaction terms on road densities and proportion of fields, the Full model included all interaction terms, and the Null model only estimated the intercept. The model selection followed an information-theoretic approach based on the number of parameters (), maximum log-likelihood (), modified Akaike information criteria (), relative values (), and weight () of each model.
