Plotting results

In the previous exercises, you have examined the raw data, used the data to build a model, and applied the model for statistical inferences. You found drug 2 increased the amount of extra sleep compared to drug 1. During this exercise, you will plot the results to see how much drug 2 increased extra sleep.

First, wrangle the data by using pivot_wider() function from the tidyr package. Then, calculate the difference in extra sleep for each individual. Last, plot this difference as a histogram.

# Load the tidyr package
library(___)

# Make the data wider
___ <- 
	pivot_wider(sleep, 
                names_from = group, values_from = extra)

# Calculate the difference 
sleep_wide$___ <- sleep_wide$`2` - sleep_wide$`1`

The first chapter provides an example of when to use a mixed-effect and also describes the parts of a regression. The chapter also examines a student test-score dataset with a nested structure to demonstrate mixed-effects.

This chapter providers an introduction to linear mixed-effects models. It covers different types of random-effects, describes how to understand the results for linear mixed-effects models, and goes over different methods for statistical inference with mixed-effects models using crime data from Maryland.

This chapter extends linear mixed-effects models to include non-normal error terms using generalized linear mixed-effects models. By altering the model to include a non-normal error term, you are able to model more kinds of data with non-linear responses. After reviewing generalized linear models, the chapter examines binomial data and count data in the context of mixed-effects models.

This chapter shows how repeated-measures analysis is a special case of mixed-effect modeling. The chapter begins by reviewing paired t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA. Next, the chapter uses a linear mixed-effect model to examine sleep study data. Lastly, the chapter uses a generalized linear mixed-effect model to examine hate crime data from New York state through time.
