$Veterinary Epidemiologic Research: GLM – Logistic Regression$

We continue to explore the book Veterinary Epidemiologic Research and today we’ll have a look at generalized linear models (GLM), specifically the logistic regression (chapter 16). In veterinary epidemiology, often the outcome is dichotomous (yes/no), representing the presence or absence of disease or mortality. We code 1 for the presence of the outcome and 0

## R to Latex packages: Coverage

March 12, 2013
By

There are now quite a few R packages to turn cross-tables and fitted models into nicely formatted latex. In a previous post I showed how to use one of them to display regression tables on the fly. In this post I summarise what types of R object each of the major packages can deal with.

As I was recently preparing a manuscript for PLOS ONE, I realized the default resolution of R and RStudio images are insufficient for publication. PLOS ONE requires 300 ppi images in TIFF or EPS (encapsulated postscript) format. In R plots … Continue reading

## Simulating Random Multivariate Correlated Data (Categorical Variables)

March 11, 2013
By

This is a repost of the second part of an example that I posted last year but at the time I only had the PDF document (written in ). This is the second example to generate multivariate random associated data. This example shows how to generate ordinal, categorical, data. It is a little more complex than generating continuous

$Veterinary Epidemiologic Research: Linear Regression Part 3 – Box-Cox and Matrix Representation$

In the previous post, I forgot to show an example of Box-Cox transformation when there’s a lack of normality. The Box-Cox procedure computes values of which best “normalises” the errors. value Transformed value of Y 2 1 0.5 0 -0.5 -1 -2 For example: The plot indicates a log transformation. Matrix Representation We can use

This is a repost of an example that I posted last year but at the time I only had the PDF document (written in ).  I’m reposting it directly into WordPress and I’m including the graphs. From time-to-time a researcher needs to develop a script or an application to collect and analyze data. They may also need
