peer agreement (net): +1the Jackknife 1 statistic gave the best fit Explanation: Or the "Jackknife 1 statistic best fitted the data" if you want to be more literal. "Data" would be understood and isn't really needed. "Jackknife 1" is the first-order jackknife estimator of species richness. N.B. There should be two "k"s in the word. Chao is another commonly used statistic in this field. |
