Repeated measures design for GAM? - corrected question...
...where bird abundance has been determined. Counts have been performed in 3 consecutive years and there were 2 counts per year (i.e. in total 6 counts). - a number of environmental predictors that do not change over year Xi). When using a GLM, a repeated measures design would like: (for example) lme(Bird_abundance = study_area + count +year+ X1 + X2 + X3,random = ~count|study_area). However, I have found no analogue design for a GAM. For now, I have averaged my bird abundances but I wondered whether a more subtle and elegant strategy exists...? Many thanks, Diederik Diederik Strubbe Evolutionary Eco...

t.test in a loop
Hi All, I've been having a little trouble with creating a loop that will run a a series of t.tests for inspection, Below is the code i've tried, and some checks i've looked at. I've used the get(paste()) idea as i was told previously that the use of the eval should try and be avoided. I've run a single syntax to check that my systax is correct and works without any problems
