Number of parameters
The greater number of optimal models selected by the EXP approach had a
greater number of parameters among all the selection approaches for both
fish and odonates (Figures 3e-f). Among the four sequential approaches,
the ORTEST approaches selected a greater number of
optimal models with a greater number of parameters over the
AUCDIFF approaches (Figures 3e-f). But all approaches
selected optimal models with the number of parameters greater than the
number of occurrences used for model building for at least some species
(Figures 3e-f). Optimal models chosen by the EXP approach had a
statistically significant correlation for the number of parameters only
with optimal models chosen by ORTEST_PER for fish
(Table S4).
