Hi all, I'm here again with my newbies questions :( I have a simple example: count of slugs in two fields. I need to make a barplot with mean and SE of mean. So I have: The mean:
tapply(slugs,field,mean)
Nursery Rookery 1.275 2.275 The SE:
tapply(slugs,field,sd)/sqrt(tapply(slugs,field,length))
Nursery Rookery 0.3651264 0.3508004 If the data has been normally distributed it is correct, but it is overdipersed count data. I make a model
m.poisson <- glm(slugs~field,family=quasipoisson)
And I have these coefficients:
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 0.2429 0.2490 0.976 0.3323
fieldRookery 0.5790 0.3112 1.861 0.0666 .
The estimate mean = mean
1.275 = exp(0.2429)
2.275 = exp(0.2429+0.5790)
But and the correct standard error of mean? How to obtain this? Exist any
function for calculate this? Exist another better measure than SE for
non-normal errors (poisson, quasi, binomial, gamma etc)?
Thanks
Ronaldo
