Hi all, Here is my problem: I performed bioassays using a unique insecticide on 9 different genotypes and got their mortality depending on the dose of insecticide used. Now, I want to see wether some genotypes are different or not in their responses to insecticide. My problem is that I have up to four replicates for some genotypes, but only one for other... Due to this unb...

Hi, In my analysis of impacts of insecticide-treated bednets on malaria, I look at the relationship between malaria incidence and mosquito behaviors. The condensed data set is copied here. Ordinary regression (lm) shows that Incidence was negatively related to Mortality. This makes sense because the latter reflected the strength of killing m...

...: (1) What is the total variance of the random effects at each level? (2) How can I test the significance of the variance components? (3) Is there something like an "r squared" for the whole model which I can state? The data come from an experiment on plant performance with and without insecticide, with and without grasses present, and across different levels of plant diversity ("div"). Thanks for your help! Christoph. lme(asin(sqrt(response)) ~ treatment + logb(div + 1, 2) + grass, random = ~ 1 | plotcode/treatment, na.action = na.exclude, method = "ML") Linear mix...
