Two way analysis of variance models can be fitted to data using the R Commander GUI. The general approach is similar to fitting the other types of model in R Commander described in previous posts. Fast Tube by Casper The “Statistics” menu provides access to some analysis of variance models ... [Read more...]

We can use the R Commander GUI to fit logistic regression models with one or more explanatory variables. There are also facilities to plot data and consider model diagnostics. The same series of menus as for linear models are used to fit a logistic regression model. Fast Tube by Casper ... [Read more...]

We can fit various linear regression models using the R Commander GUI which also provides various ways to consider the model diagnostics to determine whether we need to consider a different model. Fast Tube by Casper The “Statistics” menu provides access to various statistical models via the “Fit models” sub-menu ... [Read more...]

The R Commander GUI can be used to perform classical hypothesis testing. There are menu options to undertake the variants on the t-test as well as tests on proportions or equality of variances for two samples of data.

Previously we considered the R Commander interface as a simple GUI for the R statistical software system. Here we will look at how to undertake data manipulation and creating basic statistical summaries of data sets. Fast Tube by Casper The R Commander GUI has two menus “Data” and “Statistics” that ...

The R software is very powerful and flexible but one of the complaints of new users is that the learning curve is steep and can be daunting. There have been various projects to create GUIs for R with varying levels of sophistication, one of which is R Commander by John ... [Read more...]

extrapolation and interpolation The most important lesson I learned from this book:  regression is reliable for interpolation, but not for extrapolation.  Even further, your observations really need to cover the whole gamut of causal variables, inter... [Read more...]
