Fwd: Re: Poisson GLM using non-integer response/predictors?
...time.
glm(count ~ predictors + offset(log(observation_time)), family=poisson)
If you want to compare durations, look at library(survival), ?coxph
If tnoise_sqrt is the square root of tourist noise, your example seems
incorrect, because it is a predictor, not the dependent variable
tnoise_sqrt ~ lengthfeeding_log
Best wishes,

Poisson GLM using non-integer response/predictors?
...ared with predictors: total number of birds
(count data, square root), average time devoted to foraging at site (log), species
richness (sqrt), and the number of flushes per day. Apart from the last one
they are all non-integer values. When I run a glm for example:
parrots <- glm(tnoise_sqrt ~ lengthfeeding_log, family =
poisson)
summary(parrots)
There are warnings which are “27: In dpois(y, mu, log =
TRUE) : non-integer x = 1.889822” I was advised to use the offset() function
however this does not seem to correct the problem and I find the code confusing.
What GLM approach should I be using for mul...
