What model-building method will I use to find the effect of multiple continuous independent variables on a dependent variable?

I have behavioral data (feeding latency) which is the dependent variable. There are 4 populations from which the behavioral data is collected. So population becomes a random effect. I have various...

What is the best approach to select input variables in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)?

The selection of input variables is critical in order to find the optimal function in ANNs. Studies have been pointing numerous algorithms for input variable selection (IVS). They are generally...

How to conduct mediation analysis on a variable characterised by zero-inflated count data?

I am presently using the mediation package in R-statistics and am trying to fit the mediator using an ordered probit model. The problem is that I return the following error: "insufficient...

Can I use aggregated data to make predictions using logistic regression model that was built based on data at the individual level?

I used survey data for individuals to identify the significant variables that contribute to the evacuation decision. This was done through using backward step-wise method of the logistic...

Can the value of A be calculated in the function y = ax + b, if B is an unknown variable instead of a constant?

Let ( x(i), b(i), y(i) ) be a 3-tuple of real numbers. i=1,...,n can be interpreted as discrete time, meaning that x(i+1) occurs after x(i).x(i) and y(i) are observable, whereas b(i) is not...
