Hi, We are analizing the relationship between the abundance of groupers in line transects and some variables. We are using the quasipoisson distribution. Do we need to include the length of the transects as an offset if they all have the same length??
Also, can we include in the gam models variables that are measured at different spatial scales? We have done an analysis to see what variables are better for different sizes of buffers around the transect lines and some variables are better at different scales. Can we run the gam model with several explanatory variables if they are measured at different spatial scales? Thanks, Lucia -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/offset-in-gam-and-spatial-scale-of-variables-tp2222483p2222483.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
