Dear all,
I'm trying to perform a poisson GLM with lme4 using the number of
individuals as dependent variable and i) years of study and ii) different
study areas as factors... So far so good..
But the results are quite curious... The estimates and standard errors are
huge.. Is is normal? I don't think so...
This is an example of what happen:
Call:
glm(formula = NTOT ~ areaN * anno, family = poisson)
Deviance Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-3.7465 -1.0629 -0.5000 0.3132 6.8188
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|)
(Intercept) 140.786646 27.766187 5.070 3.97e-07 ***
areaN 71.479294 11.876992 6.018 1.76e-09 ***
anno -0.069199 0.013823 -5.006 5.56e-07 ***
areaN:anno -0.035572 0.005912 -6.017 1.78e-09 ***
I cannot understand the reason of these results... Someone can help me?
Thank you
Rox
