For example, if the best model according to AIC value of a soil sample is the AD model, the number of the AD model in the table will increase by one. If a model has a big number in a soil textural class, it has advantages in fitting the PSD curve compared to models with small number.

Textural classes of Katschinski system: TS = tight sand, LS = loose sand, SL = sandy loam, HL = heavy loam, ML = moderate loam, LL = light loam, HC = heavy clay, MC = moderate clay, and LC = light clay.

§The biggest number of cases as the best model for the specific soil texture class.
