TLDR
The second edition of this book is unique in that it focuses on methods for making formal statistical inference from all the models in an a priori set (Multi-Model Inference).Abstract:

Fitting models to biological data using linear and nonlinear regression : a practical guide to curve fitting
TL;DR: FITTING data with non-linear regression models as mentioned in this paper has been shown to work well with linear regression models, but not with a non-linear regression model, in the case of the CURVE.

Structural equation modelling : Adjudging model fit
TL;DR: This paper argued that the chi-square exact-fit test is the only substantive test of fit for structural equation model, but, its sensitivity to discrepancies from expected values at increasing sample sizes can be highly problematic if those discrepancies are considered trivial from an explanatory-theory perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating resource selection functions
TL;DR: A form of k -fold cross validation for evaluating prediction success is proposed for presence/available RSF models, which involves calculating the correlation between RSF ranks and area-adjusted frequencies for a withheld sub-sample of data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple means to improve the interpretability of regression coefficients
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on parameter estimation (point estimates as well as confidence intervals) rather than on significance thresholds for linear regression models and propose a simple alternative to the more complicated calculation of standard errors from contrasts and main effects.

Generalized linear and generalized additive models in studies of species distributions: setting the scene
TL;DR: A series of papers prepared within the framework of an international workshop entitled: Advances in GLMs /GAMs modeling: from species distribution to environmental management, held in Riederalp, Switzerland, 6 � /11 August 2001 are introduced.
