a

Best fitted model according to multiple linear regressions: stepwise selection (direction: both) by using the exact Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) to compare additive fitted models.

b

Exact p-values are informed, except for p-values under 0.001, which are informed as <0.001. Statistically significant p-values are highlighted in bold.
