Model selection results for fitting probability distributions to carnivore litter size frequencies.

<p>The number of datasets tested for each species (denominator, see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058060#pone.0058060.s001" target="_blank">Table S1</a> for details) and the number of datasets that were adequately fitted by a given distribution (numerator, see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058060#pone.0058060.s002" target="_blank">Table S2</a> for details). Bold indicates distributions that were most parsimonious for at least one dataset. SP: Shifted Poisson; ZTP: Zero-truncated Poisson; SB: Shifted binomial; ZTB: Zero-truncated binomial; SNB: Shifted negative binomial; ZTNB: Zero-truncated negative binomial; SGP: Shifted generalised Poisson; ZTGP: Zero-truncated generalised Poisson; DN: Discretised normal; DLN: Discretised lognormal; DSB3; Discretised stretched-beta (3 parameter form); DSB2; Discretised stretched-beta (2 parameter form).
