Table 1.

A tabular illustration of the results of F-tests between models.

	Plateau	Line	Line⟷plateau
Line	p line/plateau
Line⟷plateau	p line-plateau/plateau	p line-plateau/line
Line-line	p line-line/plateau	p line-line/line	p line-line/line-plateau

The best model is the one that has a row of uninterrupted significant p values (p < 0.05) stretching furthest to the right. In the case of a tie, the lower-order model is preferred. If no significant p values feature in the table, the plateau is chosen as the best model.
