Extending the basic regression model to the analysis of contingency tables, using odds and odds ratios. The worked example shows how log‐linear and latent class techniques can be assimilated into a single model using GLIM, LCAG, and LEM software, and how to interpret the BIC and AIC statistics.Less

This chapter describes the pruning algorithm for calculating the likelihood on a tree, as well as extensions under complex substitution models, including the gamma and covarion models of rate variation among sites and lineages. It discusses numerical optimization algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation. It provides a critical assessment of methods for reconstructing ancestral states for both molecular sequences and morphological characters. Finally the chapter discusses model selection in phylogenetics using the likelihood ratio test (LRT) and information criteria such as the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC).Less

Generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs) are introduced as a combination of the mixed-effects models and GLMs met in earlier chapters. The additional challenges of the analysis are explored and the differences in the R software functions and its output are explained. Model comparison and selection can be done using information criteria or likelihood ratio tests. In addition to the AIC and BIC the DIC was devised for use with multilevel models. The options for assessing how well the model assumptions are met are reduced relative to linear models and GLMs but the most accessible current options are demonstrated.Less
