I want to estimate the asymptotic richness derived from the relationship between the number of sampling survey and the resulting number of fish species. I used the function rrssoptim to fit my data to the asymtoptic models (weibull, monod, logistic, lomolino, negexpo). I am interested in the asymptotic richness. According to AiCc, the best model is the weibull (-38.48772), but the c (asymptote) was not significant and its CI95% band was very wide! On the other hand, the asymptote of models negexpo and monod were significant and the CI band was substantially narrower. My question is: should I choose the model with lower CI for the c or should I choose that with lowest AIC? Riguel Feltrin Contente
What is the best way to select a model for estimating asymptotic richness using rrssoptim?
