  1. p-values quality is illustrated using asterisk (***Excellent; **very good). The AICc stands for corrected Akaike Information Criterion, the RMSE is given as the natural logarithm of the Root Mean Square Error for a 95% prediction interval and the error factor is calculated as the exponential of the RMSE.
