Table 3.
Selection diagnostics from the final Generalized Additive Mixed Model (GAMM). Model was run 40 times to examine the number of times a variable was significant (n‐significant). All variables represent a p value <.001. Values listed as follow: mean (min – max)
| Variable | Effective degrees of freedom (edf) | Chi‐squared | n‐significant (n/40) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST | 2.7 (1.0–3.8) | 160.4 (120.6–198.8) | 40 |
| Chl‐a | 2.9 (1.0–3.9) | 20.0 (1.5–42.3) | 24 |
| EKE | 3.3 (1.0–3.8) | 57.3 (25.1–80.7) | 40 |
| SLA | 3.1 (1.0–3.9) | 39.3 (19.0–70.1) | 38 |
| SLA SD | 1.2 (1.0–3.5) | 27.0 (4.9–71.7) | 33 |
| Bathymetry | 3.6 (3.3–3.9) | 146.2 (106.5–183.2) | 40 |
R 2 = .46 (.36–.54).
AIC = 864.92 (712.61–1014.59).
AUC = 0.91 (0.88–0.93).
