Table 16. Akaike weights and supporting variables for evaluating the minimum July–August dissolved-oxygen concentration at Midnorth, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 1990–2006.
[n=17 for all; K, number of parameters in the model; RSS, residual sum of squares; AICc, Akaike information criterion; ∆i, AICi minus the minimum AICc for the set; wi, Akaike model weight; shading indicates the best fit model for each set]
