GLM, applied to regression
• Example 9.3.1 from Snedecor and Cochran (1989)• Interested in the relationship between:– phosphorus content of corn (Pcorn in ppm) & phosphorus levels in soil samples (Psoil in ppm).

2. Execute analysis. Place data in model format: 𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑛=𝛼+𝛽𝑃𝑠𝑜𝑖𝑙 ∙𝑃𝑠𝑜𝑖𝑙+𝜖
lm1 <- lm(Pcorn~Psoil, data=corn)
2. Execute analysis. Compute fitted values and residuals.

3. Evaluate Model.
• Using theoretical distributions (χ2, t, F) to calculate p-value, therefore we need to check their assumptions:– Fixed variance (errors homogeneous)– Normally distributed errors.– Independent errors– Unbiased estimate (errors sum to zero)
![Page 12: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. Evaluate Model. Homogeneous errors.
![Page 13: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Evaluate Model. Homogeneous errors.
![Page 14: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Evaluate Model. Normal errors.
![Page 15: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Evaluate Model. Independent errors.This is a text example, we do not have information on spatial layout of samples, or on collection sequence. We will assume independence
3. Evaluate Model. Conclusion.Residuals appear to homogeneous, but not normal. We assume independence, we do not have enough information to evaluate this assumption.
We may need to use an empirical distribution to compute p-values or confidence limits
![Page 16: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. State population and whether sample is representative.
Population?
Sample(n=9)
The population is all values of phosphorus in corn, given knowledge of phosphorus in the soil
The sample is representative if the 17 soil types represent the range of possible soil types
![Page 17: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5. Decide on mode of inference. Is hypothesis testing appropriate?
• Since the relationship between P and P content in corn is unknown, we proceed
6. State HA / Ho, test statistic and α

7. ANOVA: Partition df, SS according to model. Complete ANOVA table
7. ANOVA: Calculate Type I error from F distribution.
Packages compute and place the p-value in the ANOVA tablep = 0.00885
![Page 24: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
8. Recompute p-value if necessary.
• p-values can be inaccurate if assumptions are violated• Distortion depends on sample size– As a rule of thumb, distortion is greatest if n < 30– less serious if 30 < n < 100– usually not serious if n > 100
• When assumptions are not met, recompute Type I error if two conditions are met:1. n small2. p near α
![Page 25: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
8. Recompute p-value if necessary.
• Due diligence recompute p-value using randomization– Free of assumptions
• In 4000 randomizations there were 27 instances of an F-ratio greater than 12.89– Empirical p-value: 0.00675– Theoretical p-value: 0.008854
![Page 26: Part III The General Linear Model Chapter 9 Regression](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816731550346895ddbde4d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
9. Declare and report decision about model terms.
• p = 0.006750 (via randomization, hence no assumptions)– p < α = 5% so reject Ho for HA
• Report decision with evidence:– There was a significant increase in available
phosphorus with increase in soil phosphorus (F1,7 = 12.89, p = 0.00675 by randomization)

Exponential functions
• Exponential rates are common in biology• Example: specific growth rate
• = initial weight (kg)
• = recapture weight (kg)
• = time in days from initial to recapture (days)
• = exponential growth rate (%/day)

1. Construct Model• Verbal– Growth rate of lungfish is exponential, with fixed growth rate k

• Formal
– Have to linearize to apply regression:

2. Execute analysis.

3. Evaluate Model
□ Straight line model ok?
□ Errors homogeneous?
□ Errors normal?
□ Errors independent?

4. State population and whether sample is representative.• All measurements that could have been made on the fish
by this protocol
5. Decide whether to use hypothesis testing.
• The research objective is to estimate specific growth rate of fish.
• We will examine the parameters and compute confidence limits (skip to step 10).

10. Report and interpret parameters of biological interest.• Compute confidence limits
• Limits bound zero, suggesting no growth. Yet all fish were larger upon recapture. Improbable result:– 0.56 = 0.0156
• But was growth exponential?

10. Report and interpret parameters of biological interest.• The estimate of growth rate is approximately 0.1%/day, or
about 3% per month – but the estimate is not reliable!
