Mixed effects models and extension in Ecology with R

By Alain F.Zuur, Elena N.Leno,Neil J.Walker, Antony A.savelle & Graham M Smith

Building on the successful Analyzing Ecological Data (2007) by Zuur, Ieno and Smith, the authors now provide an expanded introduction to using regression and its extensions in analyzing ecological data. As with the earlier book, real data sets from postgraduate ecological studies or research projects are used throughout. The first part of the book is a largely non-mathematical introduction to linear mixed effects modelling, GLM and GAM, zero inflated models, GEE, GLMM and GAMM.
