Linear mixed model formulation

Introduction Mixed models are quite tricky, in that, while being very powerful extensions of linear models, they are somewhat difficult to conceptualize and otherwise to specify. Mixed models have, in addition to usual fixed effect combination of factors, random effects structure.

Design and analysis of spit plot experiments

Split plot design Design and fieldbook template In a field experiment to test for effects of fungicide on crop, treatment of fungicides may be distinguised into multiple factors – based on chemical constituent, based on formulation, based on the mode of spray, etc.

Layout and visualization of experimental design

Functional approach to creating and combing multiple plots This approach highlights features of gridExtra package that allows combining multiple grob plots using function calls. We explicitly use lapply/split or similar class of purrr functions to really scale the graphics.

Design and analysis of balanced randomized complete block (RCBD) experiment

Introduction Balanced block designs are a class of randomized experimental design that contain equal number of records for a particular level of categorical variable across all blocks. Example 1 Let us generate some data from random process mimicking a single factor process consisting of 3 levels.

Developing flowcharts: an illustration of wheat breeding scheme

Flow diagrams are jam-packed with information. They normally describe a process and actors that are involved in making that happen. With r package diagram, which uses r’s basic plotting capabilities, constructing flowcharts is as easy as drawing any other graphics.

Expressing timestamp data in calendar

Unlike composing a text memos and keeping tracks of those, calendar graphics is a highly effective visual aid to taking notes and summarizing them. Well, we all have used calendar, one way or the other, in our lifetimes.

Tidyverse and tidbits

Ideas surrounding tidy evaluation quote() and eval() Why quote at-all Resolved messy data with tidy evaluation List behavior Using pmap to perform list operations inside a dataframe Apply a function to certain columns only, by rows Do any arbitrary operation Using dplyr functions inside your own functions Effiecient ways to operate on list Binds each element as row but third element is list Produces rowbinding for dataframe but doesn’t work with list elements Tibble and map data to list column in isolation Modeling, exploration, summary extraction and visualization examples using dplyr verbs.

Memorize the date? Don't need to, use lubridate

My sufferance Time and again, I’ve suffered due to my humanistic limitations of memorizing things promptly. I suck at remembering stuffs, dates particularly. So, In this blog trip (Oh! this is a trip btw, because I don’t forsee myself surpassing my memory limitations any sooner than death), I will be stating if not rambing on some lifesaving tricks of picking up pieces of your faulty brain.
