The results revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best description of the data.
Feeding rates and reproduction of D. magna submitted to combined exposures of ultraviolet radiation and carbendazim showed a dose-ratio deviation from the conceptual model as the best description of the data set, for both endpoints.
The maximum of the Silhouette score [19] is reached for four clusters (Figure 3B, insert), which correspond to the best description of the data.
This model was compared with a reference model that gave the statistically best description of the data.
The hypothesis with fewest free parameters among those with ΔAICc < 4 was selected as the best description of the data.
Time lags of 2 or 3 days provided the best description of the data, with lags of 1 or 4 days yielding consistently poorer fits.
Nevertheless the LRTs suggested that the best description of these data is a model incorporating many categories of variable ω including one showing positive selection.
Comparison of the models with between-subject variabilities on one structural parameter or more showed that the model with between-subject variabilities on dIIa,,, dFg, and Fvenom provided the best description of the data.
We present BIC values and also model weights, which sum to 1 and can be interpreted as the probability that a particular model provides the best description of the data structure among the set of candidate models [ 52].
Although it is yet unknown how these results should be put in physiological perspective, the current model seems to provide the best description of the data from these largely divergent patient populations.
