Solution: Compare the AIC Scores

Let's look at the solution of the previous exercise.

We'll cover the following

Solution

Solution

Here are two parts of the solution:

Code the nested models and run the LRTs.
Find and compare the AIC scores of the models.

In the More Linear Models in R chapter, we saw that both the tail length at metamorphosis and the resources the tadpoles had access to during the larval period affected the rate at which they resorbed their tails into their bodies.
