Table 2. Sum of the squared errors (SSE) for 7 of 27 fatty acid (FA) subsets for Diets 1, 2 and 3 for spectacled and Steller’s eiders. SSE = (actual<br />
proportion of diet item – model estimate of diet item) 2 summed across all diet items. SSE for Diets 1, 2 and 3 separately. Total = sum of SSE of<br />
Diets 1, 2 and 3. Dietary and Extended Dietary FA subsets are from Iverson et al. (2004). Values in bold italicized print indicate the lowest SSE.<br />
Test 18 (Reduced A) and test 21 (Reduced B) FA subsets had the lowest overall SSE for spectacled and Steller’s eiders, respectively, and were<br />
determined to be the subsets that give the best overall model estimates of diet. See Appendix 1 for FAs included in each subset.<br />
