Hi all,
so i have a time series of temperature and depth.
i created bin depth and temperature and calculate the time at depth and time at temperature per each bin and split it into night and day periods.
I am struggling in finding the proper test to compare the time spent at each temperature/depth bin against each bin and/or day-night period.
For instance, I want to see if mean time at depth at 0-5 m is 1) the same during the night/day period and 2) if the overall time spent at 0-5 m is the same as the time spent at 10-15 or 20-25 m etc.
Anyone can give me a tip? I generally use R-studio.
Thanks in advance
Please explain what the variables time at depth and time at temperature are? Explain further about the subject.
A 2 by 2 paired sample test is needed here. Depth/temperature against Night/day
Hi Babak,
the variables are in percentage and rapresent the time that my animal spet at a specific temperature or depth bin during the day and the night. hope it is more clear
Hi Yusuf,
thanks for the answer, I am actually not interested in temperature and depth at the same time, so I have two datasets, one with time at temperature with time bins and day/night, and the second dataset with time at depth with depth bins and day/night.
I was thinking GLM or GAMs. It seems not normal and not equal variance, so probably GAMs.
What do you suggest?
Maybe gamma distribution if I make my percentage between 0 and 1?
Thanks
