jModelTest - Interpreting its outputs

Hi,

I ran jModeltest program in order to choose the model that best fits my data using different selection criteria (AIC, BIC..). I'm having trouble to interpret one of the outputs given by this program: jModeltest Output

For one model of substitution the program takes a summary comparing which ranking has been given in each selection criteria and calculates a weight (%) for each criteria and if u sum them u get the 100%. The point is that i dont know how to interpret this weight concept, it is somehow explained in the following paper from jmodeltest authors:

Paper jModeltest

Thank you

jmodeltest phylogenetics substitution model

I think the weights are probably explained in the following reference:
