Hello, I'm searching for a test that applies to a dataset (N=36) with a continuous zero-inflated dependent variable and only one nominal grouping variable with 2 levels (balanced). In fact there are 4 response variables of this kind which I plan to test seperately - the amount of zeroes ranges from 75 to 97%.. I searched the web and found several modelling approaches but have the feeling

hello, i want to stack two lattice plots beneath each other using one x-axis and sharing the same text-panels, like: ##################################################################### library(lattice) y1 <- rnorm(100,100,10) y2 <- rnorm(100,10,1) facs<-expand.grid(Sites=rep(c("Site I","Site II"),25),Treatment=c("A","B")) pl1<-dotplot(y1 ~

hello, i did several binomial tests and noticed for one sparse dataset that binom.test(1,1,0.5) gives a p-value of 1 for the null, what i can't quite grasp. that would say that the a prob of 1/2 has p-value of 0 ?? - i must be wrong but can't figure out the right interpretation.. best, kay ----- ------------------------ Kay Cichini Postgraduate student Institute of Botany Univ. of

HI everyone, I try to get some bootstrap CIs for coefficients obtained by quantile regression. I have influencial values and thus switched to quantreg.. The data is clustered and within clusters the variance of my DV = 0.. Is this sensible for the below data? And what about the warnings?

hello, i'd like to evaluate the 2 factors (f1 with 4, f2 with 2 levels) and its interactions in my model for writing up a summary table with likelihood-ratio tests for publication purpose. now i'm unsure about which terms of my model may be dropped from the full model and which not. mfull<-lme(resp~f1*f2,random=...) m1<-lme(resp~f1+f2,..) m2<-lme(resp~f1,..)

hello, i'd like to extract values from stressplot, but as this should happen within a long run of code, which also does a multiple plot, i need to prevent stressplot to print to the device. i tried ..,plot=F), but this is useless. any advise on this? thanks, kay ----- ------------------------ Kay Cichini Postgraduate student Institute of Botany Univ. of Innsbruck

Hi everyone! I'm matching two samples to create one sample that have pairs of observations equal for the k1 variable. Merge() doesn't work because I dont't want to recycle the values. x <- data.frame(k1=c(1,1,2,3,3,5), k2=c(20,21,22,23,24,25)) x y <- data.frame(k1=c(1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5), k2=c(10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17)) y merge(x,y,by="k1") k1 k2.x k2.y 1 1 20

hello list, i'd very much appreciate help with setting up the contrast for a 2-factorial crossed design. here is a toy example: library(multcomp) dat<-data.frame(fac1=gl(4,8,labels=LETTERS[1:4]), fac2=rep(c("I","II"),16),y=rnorm(32,1,1)) mod<-lm(y~fac1*fac2,data=dat) ## the contrasts i'm interressted in: c1<-rbind("fac2-effect in

hello everyone, i sampled 100 stands at 20 restoration sites and presence of 3 different invasive plant species. i came across logistic regression trees and wonder if this is suited for my purpose - predicting presence of these problematic invasive plant species (one by one) by a set of recorded ecological / geographical parameters. i'd be glad if someone would comment on applying this

hello, i found it most convenient to use package contrast for planned comparisons on mixed models. for instance i have a model with 2 fixed factors, one with 4 levels (stage) and one with 2 levels (gap) and a nested random factor (site) and i tested gap within level A of factor stage: library(contrast) library(nlme) m1<-lme(rich ~ stage*gap, random=~1|site,data=richness) contrast(m1, a =

Hallo List, I'm trying to implemement a restricted permutation scheme in permutest().

hello, i'd appreciate help with my glmer. i have a dependent which is an index (MH.index) ranging from 0-1. this index can also be considered as a propability. as i have a fixed factor (stage) and a nested random factor (site) i tried to model with glmer. i read that it's possible to use a quasibinomial distribution, for this kind of data, which i than actually did - but firstly (1)
