comment Can agresti-coull binomial confidence intervals be negative?
When I tried binom.confint(0, 5, .95) I got a negative LL. Something is wrong.

comment Can agresti-coull binomial confidence intervals be negative?
I haven't done any computing (not able to, right now) but looking at the formula for LL, how could it be negative? The numerator is all positive things, isn't it? Or am I missing something?

The site will object soon to the length of this thread of comments, which isn't really related to the question, anyway.

comment Which statistical method should I use?
Re your last paragraph, I think this could make an interesting community discussion. I kind of like DV and IV (and, so far, I've not had anyone get confused and think it was an instrumental variable). Perhaps this varies by field?

comment What is the meaning of “All models are wrong, but some are useful”
Indeed. It was the Borges story that gave me the idea for the analogy.

comment multiple regression and multiple comparisons
If you want to edit your question, that's fine, but it's probably better to do it in the question itself, so that people see it first. But I am not sue what "How would you look thought at all of them" means.

Is this a school assignment? If so, please add the "self-study" tag.

comment Which variables have too much variation?
Sounds like you have ONE variable measured 12 times in each of a thousand lakes. A lake is not a variable
