Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R van Alain Zuur, Elena N. Ieno and Neil Walker is an English-language textbook aimed at professionals in ecology. It covers mixed effects models and their applications within ecological research.
This reference work builds on Analysing Ecological Data (2007) and offers a comprehensive introduction to regression models, including linear mixed effects models, GLM, GAM, zero-inflated models, GEE, GLMM, and GAMM. Practical case studies, ranging from koala research to deep-sea ecology, illustrate various analysis methods and their application to complex datasets.
By linking ecological questions to appropriate models and extensions, this book supports you in analyzing your own research data. It connects with themes such as Ecological science, the Biosphere, Probability and statistics within the Life Sciences.
