I apologize in advance for posting a question not related to R. I need references to papers that use multiple linear regression in an industrial application and also in a biological experiment. This is aimed to biologists/chemists (non-statisticans) so if anyone has written a brilliant paper where the use of multiple regression is important and also understandable to people with little knowledge of statistics and you like to be cited, please email me the reference off th...

...d sample simulating those records that I was able to observe x<-x[x>105 & x<=135] #fit truncated normal distribution to the data fitdistr(x, dtnorm0, start = list(mean = mean(x), sd = sd(x))) The result of the estimated true mean=132.8, sd=25.9, far from the true values. Can I, on biological grounds, suggest to fitdistr that the mean must be a value, for example, between 90 and 110?

Dear All, With a colleague we are writing a paper where we show how R is a very nice tool to deal with some issues in the analyses of data in evolutionary biology. For the intro, I wonder if 1) Anybody has any rough idea of how many people might be using R or how many people have downloaded R, or similar (I am aware answering this question might require divinatory powers...). 2) Have/are any of you using R in papers in the biological sciences (specially...
