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 the li...

...collaboratively with bench scientists in the group to explore the role of long non-coding RNAs in regulating the dynamics of protein expression. They will be an excellent programmer and confident applying statistical approaches and techniques from machine learning. Experience in analysing complex biological datasets would be advantageous, however applicants from a purely computational background, who are able to demonstrate their ability to work successfully across disciplines, will also be considered. Excellent programming skills in a subset of R, Matlab, C, C++ or Java are a prerequisite, while para...

...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?

Hi all, I have created forest plots using the package "meta" that I submitted as pdf for publication. I just received an email from the editor asking me if I could send these files in an Excel or MS Word format such that they can treat them as tables with box plots. I am not sure if I can do this... Is this possible? I've tried the capture.output command, but I get a blank MS Word
