Model selection for the generalized linear mixed effects models (GLMMs) used to describe the reaction of killer whales to biopsy sampling and tagging.

The full model was reaction ∼class + hit/miss + biopsy/tag + (1|individual), where reaction was the response variable and (1|individual) denoted a random effect. All models included the random effect; only the predictor variables included in each model are shown.Notes: anumber of parameters; bsmall sample corrected Akaike Information Criterion; cdifference between the AICc score of the model in question and the best model; dAkaike weight: relative likelihood of model in question divided by the sum of relative likelihoods for all models.Model selection for the generalized linear mixed effects models (GLMMs) used to describe the reaction of killer whales to biopsy sampling and tagging.
