I have two models in NLMIXED (one linear-broken line and the other a quadratic broken-line) and they have the exactly same AIC, BIC and variance components. Their AIC, BIC are smaller than other models I am comparing them to. I am using this models to estimate nutritional requirements of animals. Now, I am normally reporting only the estimated requirement of the best fitting model. In this case, should I report both of them? Or there is any further analysis/investigation can be done to find which one is better?
Thank you,
Marcio
I would expect the quadratic to be more easily explainable in biological terms (at least if it is quadratic to a plateau). Otherwise, linear is simpler to explain--there is an additive response above a certain cut-off.

Hi,
One approach is focusing on the "Story Telling" side of your model.
Best,
