Hi, If I have the follow situation: A dependent variable (i.e. number of insects) that is affected by an independent variable (i.e. rain). The problem is that the measure of rain affect the population in other moment. So there exit a lag between the rain and the number of insects. Exist in R any tool to find what is this lag? Explain better. Suppose that I have a linear...

Hi, I have a small simple data frame (attached) - to compare diversity of insects encountered in disturbed and unditurbed site. What i have is the count of insects - the total number of times they were encountered over 30 monitoring slots. Can someone please check for me to make sure how the 'community data matrix' for the diversity function needs to be oriented so...

Hello list! I have a problem with the function 'persp'. I have a data set with the variables X -> The X coordenate of the insect Y -> The Y coordenate of the insect deep-> how deep the insect buried into the soil. I would like to have a plot with a surface simulating the way the insect buried. Is it possible? If I type persp(x,y,deep) R gives me this error message Error in persp.default(X, Y, deep) : increa...

...ich is to say that you should take these comments with a grain of salt. First, I don't think that you have censored data. You have 2 subdistribution functions F1(t) and F2(t), F1(t) + F2(t) = F(t) = the "time to endpoint" distribution. With censored data you would have some insects whose endpoint had not been observed, e.g., it's time to write the paper and some of the durn things have neither emerged nor died yet. How best to model this data is a larger and harder question. What you have done with coxph, creating an artificial censoring at the time of the comp...

Dear List, I posted this in R-mixed and did not receive any feedback. I might post it in the wrong place. I re-post in R-help and hope to receive any suggestions and\or thoughts regarding data analysis. The objective of the study is to investigate effects of soil properties on insect outbreaks. There are four study fields (or sites). Data were collected from 1996 through 2009. Below is sampling number per site per year. > table(alldfv3$year, alldfv3$site) 1 2 3 4 1996 256 265 222 197 1997 239 272 249 236 1998 216 239 216 222 1999 236 246 216 232...

Dear members, here is my trouble: My data consists of counts of trapped insects in different attractive traps. I usually use GLMs with a poisson error distribution to find out the differences between my traitments (and to look at other factor effects). But for some dataset where one traitment contains only zeros, GLM with poisson family fail to find any difference between thi...

Hi R-helpers, I have a dataframe (called data) with trees in rows (n=100) and insect species (n=10) in columns. My tree IDs are in a column called TREE and each species has a column labeled SPEC1, SPEC2, SPEC3, etc... I wish to randomize the values in my dataframe such that row and column totals are held constant, i.e. in my randomized data each tree will have the same number of i...

Dear R users, x-values (EI) = Adw, EG1, LA1, Ad1, LA2, LA3...(14 levels, insect stages) y-valus = antpop within the boxplot function x-values are ordered alphabetically Idea: x-values ranked by list order (insect stage: Egg stage 1 is followed by Larvae 1 and not by Egg stage 2 as it would be in an alphabetically order) Problems with the order(tapply()) function: var...

Dear all, How can I analyze a life table (e.g. for a cohort of insects) in R? I have 20 insects in 200 cages with two different treatments, whose survival is followed over time, such that, e.g., in one treatment, the number of animals surviving is c(20,18,16,12,10,8,4,0), while in the other treatment the survival is c(20,20,18,18,16,15,15,14) at 8 subsequent tim...

Hi everyone! I am a biologist from Argentina and have to solve this problem. I have an insect population obtained from 10 different nests and need to know its sex ratio. But as I cannot ensure insects independence I need to run a model where I can include the variable “nest” as with a random effect. The response variable has a binomial distribution (males or females). I’ve been reading for...

I am trying to apply this technique (M.J Anderson 2001) to a dataset of aquatic insect abundances. There is a sample in the unrestored and restored segement of a stream for every time period. I would like to compare the centroids of the distance matrices for the treatments up (unrestored) and dn (restored) to see if there is a difference in insect communities between the treatments...

Hello all: I'm attempting to run a Cox proportional hazards function on survival data from insects and I have a few questions. My current command that I'm using to call the model is as follows (using coxph() from the survival library): coxph(Surv(day, censor) ~ treatment + room + chamber %in% treatment, data = data.table) Day indicates which day a particular observation occurred, and cen...

I read through Harrington and Fleming (1982) but it is beyond my statistical comprehension. I have survival data for insects that have a very finite expiration date. I'm trying to test for differences in survival distributions between different groups. I understand that the medical field is most often dealing with censored data and that survival analysis, at least in the package survival, is largely built around t...

I'm trying to make a glmm to identify the relationship between insect species richness with fragment size, isolation and time (different years). I already tried to analyse it using poisson distribution error, but I always face with the following warning: *glm.fit: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred * This is probably hapenning because my dataset has a...
