Change in AIC reflects increase in model fitness from Linear to Non-Linear model, negative numbers indicate linear model is preferred. AIC likelihood reflects likelihood of that AIC change being statistically significant; <.05 is a statistically significant likelihood. Acronyms: NLS (non-linear least squares regression), AIC (Akaike Information Criterion).

Change in AIC reflects increase in model fitness from Linear to Non-Linear model, negative numbers indicate linear model is preferred. AIC likelihood reflects likelihood of that AIC change being statistically significant; <.05 is a statistically significant likelihood. Acronyms: NLS (non-linear least squares regression), AIC (Akaike Information Criterion).
