modSel: Model selection results from an unmarkedFitList

Description

Model selection results from an unmarkedFitList

Value

A S4 object with the following slots

Full

data.frame with formula, estimates, standard errors and model selection information. Converge is optim convergence code. CondNum is model condition number. n is the number of sites. delta is delta AIC. cumltvWt is cumulative AIC weight. Rsq is Nagelkerke's (1991) R-squared index, which is only returned when the nullmod argument is specified.

Names

matrix referencing column names of estimates (row 1) and standard errors (row 2).

Arguments

object

an object of class "unmarkedFitList" created by the function fitList.

nullmod

optional character naming which model in the fitList contains results from the null model. Only used in calculation of Nagelkerke's R-squared index.

	siteCovs = data.frame(Length, area, habitat), dist.breaks = dbreaksLine,
	tlength = lengths, survey = "line", unitsIn = "m")
	})

fm1 <- distsamp(~ 1 ~1, ltUMF)
fm2 <- distsamp(~ area ~1, ltUMF)
fm3 <- distsamp( ~ 1 ~area, ltUMF)

fl <- fitList(Null=fm1, A.=fm2, .A=fm3)
