Table 17. Akaike weights and supporting variables for evaluating models of water temperature and a second physical variable in relation to minimum July–August dissolved-oxygen concentration at Midnorth, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 1990–2006.
[Water temperature is 75th percentile; n=17 for all; +/-, sign of the coefficient in the model, respectively; 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]
