Table 2.

The minimum and maximum F ratio and the number of times retained (n) for each term across the 95 per cent confidence set of 10 non-spatial models (a). F ratios for significant terms in the two models in the 95 per cent confidence set for the spatial models (b). Superscripts show significance at p < 0.001, along with the sign of the coefficient where relevant.
