Beginner's Guide to GLM and GLMM with R.
- A frequentist and Bayesian perspective for ecologists -
Zuur AF, Hilbe JM and Ieno EN
This book is only available from:
http://www.highstat.com/BGGLM.htm
This book presents Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Generalized
Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) based on both frequency-based and Bayesian
concepts. Using ecological data from real-world studies, the text
introduces the reader to the basics of GLM and mixed effects models,
with demonstrations of binomial, gamma, Poisson, negative binomial
regression, and beta and beta-binomial GLMs and GLMMs. The book uses the
functions glm, lmer, glmer, glmmADMB, and also JAGS from within R. JAGS
results are compared with frequentist results.
R code to construct, fit, interpret, and comparatively evaluate models
is provided at every stage. Otherwise challenging procedures are
presented in a clear and comprehensible manner with each step of the
modelling process explained in detail, and all code is provided so that
it can be reproduced by the reader.
Readers of this book have free access to:
Chapter 1 of Zero Inflated Models and Generalized Linear Mixed Models
with R. (2012a) Zuur, Saveliev, Ieno.
Chapter 1 of Beginner's Guide to Generalized Additive Models with R.
(2012b) Zuur, AF.
