Dear Helpers,

I just started working with R and I'm a bit overloaded with information.

My data is from marsupials reindroduced in a area. I have weight(wt), hind foot
lenghts(pes) as continues variables and origin and gender as categorial.
condition is just the residuals i took from the model.

names(dat1)
[1] "wt" "pes" "origin"  "gender" "condition"

my model after model simplification so far:
model1<-lm(log(wt)~log(pes)+origin+gender+gender:log(pes))
-->six intercepts and two slopes

the problem is i have some things I can't include in my analysis:
1.Very different sample sizes for each of the treatments
tapply(log(wt),origin,length)
captive    site    wild
    119     149      19
2.Substantial differences in the range of values taken by the covariate (leg length) between treatments
tapply(pes,origin,var)
 captive     site     wild
82.43601 71.44442 60.42544
tapply(pes,origin,mean)
 captive     site     wild
147.3261 144.8698 148.2895

4.Outliers
5.Poorly behaved residuals

thanks for the answer I am open minded to any different kind of analysis.

Tobi
