Tools for Assessing Goodness of Fit of GLMs: Case Studies in Entomology

Jayakumari, Darshana; Hinde, John; Einbeck, Jochen; Moral, Rafael A.

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the analysis of data that typically arise from entomological studies using generalized linear models. We focus on techniques that can be used to assess model goodness of fit, which is an important step in statistical modelling to ensure the reliability of the inferences made. Specifically, we demonstrate the utility of half-normal plots with a simulated envelope as a complementary tool for assessing model assumptions. We illustrate the concepts with two examples, one involving count responses and another involving continuous responses.
