Table IV.

Model-fitting results of Block #3.

Model Number (Free Interaction Parameters) AICc Akaike Weight
Model #20 (A × Age × SES, C × Age × SES) 38616.27 0.0167
Model #21b (A × Age × SES only) 38614.25 0.0457
Model #22b (C × Age × SES only) 38614.31 0.0444
Model #5a (none) 38612.34 0.1188
a

Model #5 is part of Block #2 (see Table III).

b

Model is in the 95% confidence set for best-approximating model (see Appendix).

A model’s Akaike weight is interpretable as the posterior probability that the model is the best at approximating full reality in the population, given the size of the sample and the set of models under consideration (see Appendix). Smaller AICcs and greater Akaike weights both correspond to a more-preferable model.
