I?ve used logistic regression to create models to assess the effect of 3 variables on the presence or absence of a species, including the interaction terms between variables and model averaging using MuMI: model.avg The top models (delta<4) include several models with interaction terms and some models without; model weights are quite low for all models (<0.25). My problem is that the models

Hello, I recently began using R and the lme4 package to carry out linear mixed effects analyses. I am interested in the effects of variables 'prime','time', and 'mood' on 'reaction_time' while taking into account the random effect 'subjects.' I've read through documentation on lme4 and came up with the following formula for use with lmer:

Hi Everyone,  Sorry to ask what I think is a basic question but I really haven't found my answer yet in the archives.  I am trying to run a mixed effects model in R using the lme package. My experiment is such that I am interested in the effects of Temperature (2 levels) and Species (3 levels) on Growth. I collected individuals from three populations within each species. Because individuals

Dear all, We want to test if the invasiveStatus is predicted by the amount (quant) of animals arriving to a country of a certain species (taxonid). We are using lmer to perform the model. The model is: lmer(invasiveStatus~I(log(quant+1))+I(log(inDegree+1))+(1|taxonid)+(1|country), family=binomial,data=td), where invasiveStatus is a binary variable, quant and inDegree are integer variables, and

Dear All, I have conducted an experiment in order to examine predation pressure in the surroundings of potential wildlife road-crossing structures. I have documented predation occurrence (binary?) in these structures and calculated several possible explanatory variables describing the spatial heterogeneity in several scales. At the landscape scale I have calculated the percentage of different
