Well there seems to be some distant possibilities, but would be fascinating when that time comes;

But I am not sure enough how far it is science or just fiction.

Why stepAIC gives a model with insignificant variables in the summary(model)?
Question

  • Audrey GarnierAudrey Garnier
I would like to know what environmental variables allows to explain the presence of several species (binomial glm). I used a stepAIC procedure to select the best model.
But when I do a summary(model), some variables are not significant (according to pvalues). How can I interpret these results ? Can one says that all the variables are usefull to explain the presence of the species but that only some of them are significant ? Must I interpret coefficient estimates of unsignificant variables ?
Thank you very much for your help !
Hera are the results of my summary(model) :

It is argued that systems whose elements are renewed according to an extremal criterion can generally be expected to exhibit long-term memory. This is verified for the minimal extremally driven model, which is first defined and then solved for all system sizes N>=2 and times t>=0, yielding exact expressions for the persistence R(t) = [1 + t/(N-1)]-...
