His buyers were apparently men with a crush fetish, who scholars of sexual deviance say number about 1,000 in the United States.
Model selection was based on Akaike information criterion (AIC), which attempts to find the simplest model that adequately explains data by trading-off reductions in residual deviance against the number of parameters used in a model (see [ 17] for a review of model selection approaches).
11 Assessment of model fit was based on the deviance information criterion (DIC) and comparison of residual deviance to number of unconstrained data points.
A positive ΔAIC indicates that the three-factor model gives a worse fit (in terms of deviance explained and number of parameters used) than the full model.
First, we identified BRT parameters (learning rates, number of trees per step, tree complexity, bag fraction) that provided a reasonably quick reduction in deviance, in a model using only human population density as a predictor.

Deviance, in sociology, violation of social rules and conventions.
The model was able to explain 72% of the total deviance in herbivore density.
Our final model explained 78% of the deviance in spatially explicit woody cover trends.
