Hi,
I'm analyzing experimental results where two different events ("T1"
and "T2") can occur or not during an experiment. I made my experiments
with one factor ("Substrate") with two levels ("Sand" and "Clay").
I would like to know wether or not "Substrate" affects the occurrence
probability of the two events. Moreover, for each condition I would
like to test the heterogeneity of my experimental contingency table
with a theoretical one (from simulations).
However, my problem is that several cells have sampling zeroes. My
experiments can't be done again to fill these cells. Thus Chi-square
requirements are not fulfilled and I have to find another statistical
method.
After spending hours searching for a solution, I thought I could use
loglinear model to answer my questions, but :
- I'm not sure I can use loglinear model = do I fulfill the required
conditions ?
- would this method answer to my hypothesis ?
- I not sure to really understand how I have to use loglin()…
Here is the data frame of my results.
DF<-data.frame(Subs=c(rep("Sand",4),rep("Clay",4)),T1=rep(c
("YES","YES","NO","NO"),2),T2=rep(c("YES","NO","YES","NO"),2),Freq=c
(12,5,0,7,24,1,0,0))
What do you think of such datas ? Can I use any statistical method to
test my hypothesis ? Any advice ?
Thanks,
Etienne Toffin
