The table shows all possible subsets up to delta 2.5 for the resulting model fits by (corrected) Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC). Either the value for the slope of (standardized) quantitative regressors is given, or inclusion ( +) for qualitative variables. A missing value indicates the variable is not part of the subset. The model with the lowest AIC value has the best fit.
