May 19, 2016 at 16:20 comment added SlowLoris If your concern is reporting a ridiculous number of results, then you can choose to only report models above a certain Akaike weight. If your concern is doing everything by hand, then you might find help from an R package such as MuMln. You can also look into model averaging rather than model selection.
May 19, 2016 at 7:51 comment added AlexR Oh ok, but reporting the p-values for all the parameters/models is a bit tedious if you are modelling many parameter combinations? "spurious" in reference to the parameters excluded in best model determined by AIC.
May 16, 2016 at 15:26 comment added SlowLoris Well what I was suggesting was to provide the p-values for all of the models/parameters, as well as the AIC. That way people can see how p-values change depending on the model specification. What do you mean "spurious parameters"?
May 16, 2016 at 6:13 comment added AlexR Thanks for the clear answer. So should i use anova() for the model with all parameters or the best model selected by AIC? (I notice the output changes with spurious parameters). Cheers
