Structural equation models for mink and muskrat fur returns from all Canada and each region.

Each model is described for the path acting on mink synchrony (Mink) and muskrat synchrony (Musk).
Explanatory variables are distance (Dist), winter precipitation synchrony (Pp) and winter temperature synchrony (Tm). Double arrow means correlation. Only models accepted according to χ2 criteria are shown. The best models according to BIC are in bold case. Columns include χ2 value, adjusted goodness of fit of the covariance matrix (Adj. GoF), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), 90% confidence interval for RMSEA (between brackets), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Due to the method used to get the confidence interval [40] some values appears as NA. This methods sometimes can produce a lower bound above the RMSEA estimate or an upper bound below the estimate; when this happens, the bound is set to NA.
