your choice, to visualize the data, paying particular attention to
grouping structure.
- optionally identify the maximal model for
the data set
- fit a model of your choice, using either
lme4 (or
lmerTest) or glmmTMB
- if using the
fire_diversity data set, consider fixed
effects NPP_log_sc and Feat_log_sc, and
grouping variable biome
- check diagnostics using
DHARMa or
performance::check_model()
- examine the output of
summary() and draw
conclusions
- draw a coefficient plot using
dotwhisker or another
tool of your choice; draw conclusions
- do some form of inference (e.g., a hypothesis test)
