Assignment #12 (2019)
For each of the following data sets, analyze the data using generalized linear modeling with the appropriate family structure.
DataSet #1 - In this example, you will be examining the factors that influence risk of mortality in bob-white quail. You have followed 100 bobwhite quail for a 1 year period. In addition to whether or not an individual quail died (Y - 'Died'), you have collected data on whether or not the quail is in a hunted population or not as well as the age of the bird (in years).
Answer the following questions by using the standard sentences we have covered in class (including confidence intervals and p-values):
DataSet #2 - In this example, you will basically be doing a habitat analysis. In essence, you have sampled 100 long-leaf pine stands for red-cockaded woodpeckers. In addition to whether or not the bird was detected ('Present'; which we will assume was done without error), you collected data on the stand age (in years), the density of the trees (in trees / 100 m2), and whether or not the stand is burned regularly by management personnel (every 3 years) or only burned when fire occurs naturally.
Answer the following questions by using the standard sentences we have covered in class (including confidence intervals and p-values):
DataSet #3 - In this example, you are conducting a study of bird biodiversity. You have sampled 100 randomly chosen habitat patches for birds. In addition to the number of bird species detected in the patch (Y - 'Present'), you also collected data on the habitat type, and the understory density (an index from 0 to 100 generated using a density board - 100 means so thick you can't see through it, 0 means no understory).
