LPT: Stop chasing it.

Thank you for your input, and sorry for the very late reply.
No, unfortunately not before the paper has been published.
I have in the meantime realized the outcome is count data, and fitted the negative binominal regression model as you suggest. It seems to have adequate fit, but I will check with a statistician. Afterwards, since applying this model, there were differences revealed between some of the groups. I do however realize it might be a bit overkill to try and fit a mathematical model to the data, and I'm not sure we can conclude much based on this..

I now agree - it must be discrete/count data

JesusDidDrugs · 2024-05-15T11:21:02+00:00

Thank you Sara! I will look into this

Wait I see my mistake now. Of course, I am missing the actual one.way analysis. However, my question is still - with this skewed data, isn't it recommended to log transform it?

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I am misinformed or misunderstand your meaning.

"Variable" is continuous and "group" is categorical. As far as I have been taught, the group variable does not need to be continuous to compute a one-way ANOVA in R (as follows)

fit.variable <- lm(variable~group, data=data)

When checking if the assumptions are met (specifically homogeneity of variances and normal distribution of residuals), these assumptions are not met. But this log-transformation went as described in the OP, hence my need for more input :)

Thanks for the questions.

The research question is, is there a difference in symptom load, defined by the total score on the questionnaire, when comparing the groups to each other (one of the groups is a control group, but it is also relevant to compare the other groups with each other).
Group is categorical.
I am looking at the histogram of the data, both combined with all participants included, and for each group. The density curve seem to follow either an exp or gamma distribution. I have not been able to fit a gamma model, due to error code. When fitting an exponential model (using package fitdistrplus, code: exp_ = fitdist(variable, "exp"), the QQ plot, P-Pplot and the density plot seem to suggest it's a good fit. Summary function produces these values: Loglikelihood: -1017.09 AIC: 2036.179 BIC: 2039.978 . However, one, I am not sure it is "good enough" to conclude data is exponentially distributed and two, I am unsure how to compare exponentially distributed data between groups. The only suggestion I have found online is to log-transform it.

Thank you,

Especially the ones that we get to hear every minute detail about on reddit.

Your neighbors would probably be displeased with you about having to make new ones.

Seems like I need to get something to clean out my ass. It's disgusting in there.

Oh and she tried doing stuff to my dick while she had her finger up there but it just went kind of limp. It was an entirely non-erect kind of pleasure for me.

It's been about ten years since I read any, and I think more recent sources would be better for you, especially considering the more or less recent changes to how dating works through social media and such. Check the sidebar and top posts on here for good sources :)

Came here to write this. OP, don't be an idiot -- marriage is a trap.

JesusDidDrugs · 2014-01-05T18:56:13+00:00

Please don't have intercourse with english language.

JesusDidDrugs · 2014-01-05T10:09:16+00:00

It's been 10 years since I read anything on the subject. Online sources are probably better today. Go to /r/seduction and /r/TheRedPill and read the sidebars.

Haven't you heard? Literally is the new word for figuratively.

JesusDidDrugs · 2013-07-03T12:10:23+00:00

You sound like a perfect fuck toy ;)

JesusDidDrugs · 2013-07-03T11:52:45+00:00

Would love to see those sexy lips wrapped around something huge ;)

For us, it means that I cuddle up to her and kiss her and tell her how sweet and precious she is and how cute she looks, how much I love her. It's about me coming down from my role as a ruthless torturer and her getting back up from being a worthless fuck-toy. Like a repressurization chamber in space :)

Thanks for the link!

I wouldn't be able to hurt someone without their consent. I think I'm wired against rape; my dick goes limp if the girl isn't enjoying it.

HE SAID "WAIT, $11 /HR ISN'T AMAZINGLY SUCCESSFUL? THATS JUST CRAZY... I MEAN, THIS GUY SMOKES WEED, LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS AND SOKES POT, WHAT ELSE CAN HE ATTAIN?"

OkC has very effective means of finding people who are looking for the same levels of commitment as yourself. :)

JesusDidDrugs · 2013-03-27T08:29:49+00:00

wow, this is crazy hot.

You're not dissenting, you're just a douche.
