Variance partitioning when using a response from 1st study as a predictor in 2nd study
I use linear mixed-effects models to analyze my data, where I have a variable C that is used as a response and an explanatory variable in separate studies.
In the first study C ~ A + (1|B),
I found ...

Is there a natural extension of the ACF/PACF to more general measures of dependency?
Assume that we have a time series that we want to model as a stationary real-valued stochastic process: $$X_t , t \in \{0, 1, \dots \}.$$
Two complementary measures of linear dependence between the ...

Should individual $R^2$ of a predictor always be greater than $\Delta R^2$ when removing that predictor from an expanded model?
I'm running some regressions with a set of somewhat correlated predictors. Let's call these predictors $x$, $y$ and $z$, and my dependent variable $d$.
I'm focused on the effect of $x$ on $d$.
