Hi, As part of my dissertation, I'm going to be doing an Anova, comparing the "dead zone" diameters on plates of microbial growth with little paper disks "loaded" with antimicrobial, a clear zone appears where death occurs, the size depending on the strength and succeptibility. So it's basically 4 different treatments, and I'm comparing the diameters (in mm) of

Hi, I have an experiment with 2 independant factors which I have been trying to analyse in R. The problem is that there are several data points recorded on the same animal. However, no combination of treatments is repeated on the same animal. All possible combinations of treatments are done in a random order with as many points as possible being done on 1 animal before moving onto the next. The

Dear all, I collected my data from the different agricultural fields every week over a period of a month. how can I test for spatial autocorrelation in R with data that are temporally pseudoreplicated? I used lme with correlation=corCompSymm(form=~Date) to model temporal pseudoreplication. Regards, VG

Hello, I am trying to help someone who has carried out an experiment and I'm finding it quite difficult to understand the appropriate model to use & code it. The response is a measurement - the amount of DNA extracted during the experiment. There were 2 factors to be tested - one is the condition under which the experiment took place and the other is the type of DNA to be

Sorry if this is the wrong ml for this question, I am new to R. I am trying to use R to analyze the data from my thesis experiment and I am having troubles accounting for the pseudoreplication properly from having each participant repeat each treatment combination (combination of fixed factors) 5 times. The design of the experiment is as follows... Responses: CompletionTIme VisitedTargets

Need some help please I am trying to use this model because I have temporal replication in my data results<-read.table(file=file.choose(),header=T) attach(results) names(results) results<-na.omit(results) library(nlme) library(lattice) results<-groupedData(weight~date|group,outer=~diet,results) plot(results) plot(results,outer=T) model<-lme(weight~diet,random=~date|group,results)

Dear all I'm not sure if I did the right analysis for my specific split splot design. We are studying biomass increase with different CO2 concentrations with four different functional plant groups (e.g. grasses, herbs, broad-leafed trees and conifers). Of each functional plant group we have four species. The design is orthogonal. The design is: Blocks: 2 (climate chambers, called

Dear all, How can I run a constrained correspondence analysis with the following data: 15 animals were measured repeatedly month-wise (over to 2 years) according to ther diet composition (8 food categories). our data.frame looks like this: food 1 2 ... 8 sex season year animal freq 12 8 ... 1 0 summer 2011 1 freq 0 7 ... 0 1 winter 2011 1 ... freq 0 7 ... 0 1 spring 2011 15 We

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS i HAVE TO DO A MIXED EFFECT LINEAR MODEL WITH MY DATA DUE TO THE FACT THAT I have pseudoreplication! Although after reading and trying it for several times can get around due to "Error in na.fail.default(list(date = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, : missing values in object" I uploaded my data file Thank you so much Kind regards AG

Hello, I'm having some trouble figuring out the correct model specification for my data. The system consists of multiple populations of an organism, which have been genetically sampled for several years. The problem is this: A minority of individuals are found in more than one sample, either they have survived into the next sampling at the same location, or have migrated to another another

In some trial simulation work I need to create batch files that will repeatedly generate pseudoreplicate datasets and then create non- linear mixed effects models using nlme. Inevitably these models sometimes fail to converge but I need the batch file to simply move on to another simulation rather than abort. I am using the try() function as in model<-try((nlme(...))) which handles

Hi all, I'm not sure how to correctly analyse the following data with glm, and hope for some advice from this list, ideally showing how to specify the model in R and perform the tests, and also for suggestions of literature. The data structure is like this: - 20 plant populations were investigated (random factor pop), which belong to different habitat types (factor ht) - Within

Dear All, I'm rather a beginner on nested ANOVAs, so here goes with my 2 questions; Qu 1: I'm modelling the number of galls on a leaf (the response variable) as a function of; the tree on which I find the leaf, the branch on which I find the leaf. Then, the tree and the branch are both random factors, and I'm quite happy that I should write; aov(galls~tree/branch +

Dear all, I wonder if anyone can help me with specifying a right model for my analysis. I am a beginner to lme methods. I was unfortunately not able to find a solution to my problem on my own. Data structure: I have sampled monthly 6 basins during two hydrological cycles, and I have taken several (2 to 4) samples (“replicate”) for each basin and month. I’m trying to relate Shannon diversity

Dear R-help-list, I have a problem in which the explanatory variables are categorical, the response variable is a proportion, and experiment contains technical replicates (pseudoreplicates) as well as biological replicated. I am new to both generalized linear models and mixed- effects models and would greatly appreciate the advice of experienced analysts in this matter. I analyzed the

I am trying to run the following model in R > lmer(leaves.eaten~Geocytotype+(1|TEST/ PLANT),data=cyphoplantfeeding,family=poisson) My experimental setup is 41 replicates (TEST) of an experiment in which there are three Geocytotypes of a plant species in each TEST, and two plant pseudoreplicates per Geocytotype in each test (i.e. 3*2=6 plants per test). So my random factors are trying

Hi, sorry by this off. I'm still try to understand nested design. I have the follow example (fiction): I have 12 plots in 4 sizes in 3 replicates (4*3 = 12) In each plot I put 2 species (A and B) to reproduce. After a period I make samples in each board and count the number of individuals total (tot) and individuals A and B (nsp). Others individuals excepts A and B are in total of

Dear professors and collegues I need to perform a analysis of dates from a nested experimental design. From "Bioestatical Analysis" of Zar "Bimetry of Sokal" & Rohlf "Design and Analysis of Experiments" of Montgomery I have: Sum (mean(x)_i - mean(x)_T)2 / (a-1) -> var(epsilon) + n sigma2_B + n b (sum alfa_i)2 / (a-1) Sum (mean(x)_ij - mean(x)_i)2 /

Hello, I have a couple questions regarding generalized linear mixed models specifically around fitting the random effects terms correctly to account for any pseudo-replication. I am reading through and trying to follow examples from Zuur et al. Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R, but am still at bit unsure if I am specifying the models correctly.
