Mixed model with multinomial distribution
I would like to run a GLMM on categorical data. In this case the response data are abundance of insects of 4 trophic groups. I am unsure whether I need to cbind the categories and run with the model with family=multinomial4 or family=gaussian. Also I'm unsure whether I should use lme4 package or MCMCglmm. If anyone can give me any pointers, I would be most grateful. I am new to R and mixed models so I apologize in advance. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
