Fig. 3From: Incorporating periodic variability in hidden Markov models for animal movementAdjusted BIC for all numbers of states. With the exception of the hourly model, all temporally heterogeneous HMMs give better/more parsimonious fits to the data, as well as selecting BIC-optimal models with fewer states. Left panel: homogeneous FMM, heterogeneous FMM (sinusoidal prior), and homogeneous HMM. Right panel: HMMs with different temporal transition models. Dashed lines: FMMs; solid lines: HMMsBack to article page
