Many response variables are handled poorly by regression models when the errors are assumed to be normally distributed. For example, modeling the state damaged/not damaged of cells after treated with ...

This section provides an overview of a likelihood-based approach to general linear mixed models. This approach simplifies and unifies many common statistical analyses, including those involving ...

Generally speaking, there are two types of outcomes (i.e. response) in statistical analysis: continuous and categorical responses. Linear Models (LM) are one of the most commonly used statistical ...

Linear mixed model (LMM) methodology is a powerful technology to analyze models containing both the fixed and random effects. The model was first proposed to estimate genetic parameters for unbalanced ...

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the dynamics of natural selection within populations. The strength and direction of selection can be described by regressing relative fitness ...

Suggested diagnostics for influence on the estimated regression coefficients in a generalized linear model have generally approximated the effect of deleting a single case. We apply the local ...

You construct a generalized linear model by deciding on response and explanatory variables for your data and choosing an appropriate link function and response probability distribution. Some examples ...
