Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistics for CEM models constructed in Australia and South Africa, and predicting dung beetle distributions in these regions. (The statistics are chi-squared distributed with eight degrees of freedom, for which the critical value determining significance at the 0.05 level is 15.5. Values greater than this indicate models with a significant lack of fit, with significance indicated as ^**p<0.01, ^***p<0.001.)
