Regression modelling with unequal variance
I would like to fit a linear model (lm) where the residuals variance is clearly dependent on the explanatory variable.
The way I know to do this is by using glm with the Gamma family to model the ...

Simulate linear regression with heteroscedasticity
I am trying to simulate a dataset that matches empirical data that I have, but am unsure how to estimate the errors in the original data. The empirical data includes heteroscedasticity, but I am not ...

Zero inflated beta regression using gamlss for vegetation cover data
My goal is to analyse vegetation cover data. The way the data collection works is that you throw a quadrat (0.5m x 0.5m) in a sample plot and estimate the percent cover of the target species. Here is ...

fit GLM for weibull family [closed]
I am trying to fit generalized linear model for weibull family, but when I try it in R, it gives an error. I know that weibull does not fit in exponential family, but I have read some research ...

Convert SAS NLMIXED code for zero-inflated gamma regression to R
I'm trying to run a zero-inflated regression for a continuous response variable in R. I'm aware of a gamlss implementation, but I'd really like to try out this algorithm by Dale McLerran that is ...

How to find the appropriate model to apply (GAMLSS)/Approving statistical thinking
I need to compute percentile curves using the LMS method (from the GAMLSS package/models) with Age and Height as predictors.
What is the best way to determine which equation (with which transformation ...

What diagnostic plots exists for quantile regression?
Following on my question for OLS, I wonder: what diagnostic plots exists for quantile regression? (and are there R implementation of them?)
A quick google search already came up with the worm plot (...

Is it possible to calculate variable confidence intervals, conditional on $\hat{Y}$ to address heteroscedasticity?
Estimating confidence intervals for non-normally distributed residuals can be accomplished using bootstrapping procedures, sandwich estimators or quantile regression.
But is there a way to calculate $...

What distribution has exactly three parameters for mean, variance, and skewness?
Common distributions usually fix their skewness. Beta distribution has two parameters to determine all of the mean, variance, and skewness.
Student-T's skewness can change by some definitions but it ...

What is Mu in zero/one beta inflated models? (gamlss (BEINF))
I am estimating a zero/one inflated beta regression model with gamlss (family BEINF). My dependent variable is [0,1] with a lot of 0s, quite some 1s, and some values in between. This means I assume ...

How to correctly specify and diagnose one-inflated beta regression mixed-models (using GAMLSS)
I would like to find out what variables influence/explain an efficiency score for an invasive species control method. As the score is defined on (0,1] and as some observations were not independent, I ...
