similar to: Freeman-Tukey arcsine transformation

Hi everyone, I'm using the metafor package to meta-analyze a set of proportions. This is working really well for the raw proportions, but is there a way to back-transform the arcsine transformed proportions in the rma or forest functions with the atransf option? The estimates and CIs for the transformed proportions need to be back-transformed to be the sin of the estimate squared.

I have been trying to preform both a bartlett's test and an arcsine transformation on some average percentage data. I've tried inputting it different ways and I keep getting the same error message: > head(workingdata) DYAD BEFORE AFTER 1 BG-FL 4.606772 5.787520 2 BG-LL 5.467503 7.847395 3 AD-MV 5.333735 11.107380 4 MM-FL 5.578708 12.063500 5 MM-MV 2.037605 6.415303 6 MM-RM

I am tryin to perform an arcsine transformation on my data containig percentages as the dep. variable. Does anyone have a code that I could use to do that? I am relatively new to R.

Hello, I am performing a meta-analysis using the metafor package. My data are proportions and I used the Freeman Tukey double arcine (FT) transformation to fit the random effects model. Now I want to create a forest plot with my estimates backtransformed to the original scale of proportions. Can this be done? Regards, Patricia

Dear all, I?ve got a simple self-written function to calculate the mean + s.e. from arcsine-transformed data: backsin<-function(x,y,...){ backtransf<-list() backtransf$back<-((sin(x[x!="NA"]))^2)*100 backtransf$mback<-tapply(backtransf$back,y[x!="NA"],mean)

Hi Everyone, I'm a pretty useless r-er but have data that SPSS etc doesn't like. I've managed to do GLMs for my data, but now need to fit a thin plate spline for my data (arcsine.success~date.num:clutch.size) If anyone has a bit of spare time and could come up with a bit of code I'd be very grateful- I just don't get R language!

This may sound crazy but... I have data like this... > results.matrix [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12] [1,] 949 93 2 11 26 20 7 6 10 5 0 3 [2,] 1233 124 24 35 58 57 17 21 31 19 11 21 Which is the result of binning (summing) the response variables of an underlying (nearly) continious range of predictor

I have some question about metafor package. I'm interest to perform a random effect meta-analysis of proportion (single group summary of prevalence of disease in a population as reported by different study) It ask: 1. "PFT": The Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformed proportion is reported to be equal to 1/2*(asin(sqrt(xi/(ni+1))) + asin(sqrt((xi+1)/(ni+1)))). Hovewer, i

Hi Dr. Viechtbauer, I'm doing meta-analysis using your package 'metafor'. I used the 'IRFT' to transform the incident rate. But when I tried to back-transform the summary estimates from function rma, I don't know what's the appropriate ti to feed in function transf.iirft. I searched and found your post about using harmonic mean for ni to back-transform the double

Hi, I am currently trying to do a GLMM on a dataset with percent cover of seagrass (dep. var) and a suite of explanatory variables including algal (AC) and epiphyte cover (EC), rainfall, temperature and sunshine hours. M2=glmer(SG~AC+EC+TP+SS+RF+(1|Location/fSi/fTr), family=binomial,data=data,nAGQ=1) As the dependent variable is percent cover, I used a binomial error structure. I also have a

Hello useRs! I have % cover data for different plant species in 300 plots, and I use the ARCSINE transformation (to deal with % cover data). When I use a GLM I do not have any problem. But when I am trying to use a GAM model using mgcv package, to account for non-linearity I get an ?error message?. I use the following model: sp1.gam<-gam(asin(sqrt(0.01*SP1COVER))~

Hi everyone, I've searched the internet and lots of stats books high and low for this one, but nothing seems to be quite what I want. I've got continuous data on four different state activities recorded in seconds, however each continuous session is not equally long, so the data are best expressed as proportions, i.e.: Subject 1: Swimming, 0.5, Hiding, 0.25, Edge, 0.125, Inactive, 0.125

Hi, I am trying to do a power calculation for a difference in proportions test where I want to estimate the sample size required. I know (well estimate) that group one (n1) is 10% of the population and group 2 (n2) is 90% of the population. I know the effect size (h). pwr.2p2n.test only allows one variable to be left null whereas I would like both n1 and n2 to be determined where I know there

Dear R users, Is it reasonable to transform data (measurements of plant height) to the power of 1/4? I?ve used boxcox(response~A*B) and lambda was close to 0.25. Regards, Christoph

Hello everyone, I am working for a few days already on a basic algorithm, very common in applied agronomy, that aims to determine the degree-days necessary for a given individual to reach a given growth stade. The algorithm (and context) is explained here: http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/gdd/glossary.htm , and so I implemented my function in R as follows: DD <- function(Tmin, Tmax, Tseuil,
