Generalized Linear Modelling in R (part 1)

20.07.2013

In classical linear modelling we are assuming that the response variable (Y) is normally distributed, however for certain type of data like count data or presence/absence data this is not the case. There is in statistic an ensemble of technique called Generalized Linear Modelling (GLM in short) where the reponse variable follow one known distribu...

Simulating dice throws in R

20.12.2013

I am currently following a course on probability theory in coursera (https://www.coursera.org/course/probas) and I’ve seen some graphs concerning the outcome of some dice throws. Being an R-nerd I wrote a little function to do this in R. This is nothing fancy just I find it interesting the process of thoughts going from a real-world problem (10...

Adding color to R plot: a function

24.02.2014

A friend of mine told me that she was spending her day colouring R plot because she never understood how to put color in them. This triggered a nerdy reaction in me that I had to put in a basic function. This was actually a funny exercise for two reasons: forced me to think at the place of someone else (called empathy which I may be lacking), mad...

Computing R square for Generalized Linear Mixed Models in R

02.03.2014

R square is a widely used measure of model fitness, in General Linear Models (GLM) it can be interpreted as the percent of variance in the response variable explained by the model. This measure is unitless which makes it useful to compare model between studies in meta-analysis analysis. Generalized Linear Mixed models (GLMM) are extending GLM by ...

Generalized Linear Mixed Models in Ecology and in R

12.03.2014

I had a nice workshop two weeks ago in Tübingen (south-germany) concerning Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) in R. The course was given by two ecologist: Dr. Pius and Fränzi Korner-Nievergelt  that spend now half of their time doing statistical consulting (http://www.oikostat.ch/navigation_engl.htm). Nice reference concerning GLMMs are: t...

Interpreting interaction coefficient in R (Part1 lm)

08.04.2014

Interaction are the funny interesting part of ecology, the most fun during data analysis is when you try to understand and to derive explanations from the estimated coefficients of your model. However you do need to know what is behind these estimate, there is a mathematical foundation between them that you need to be aware of before being able t...
