Originally, Meerkat relied entirely on Twitter for its identity, link distribution and communication systems.
We used lmer function of "lme4" package with an identity link function and a gaussian error distribution.
LTF data were fitted to models using a normal error distribution and an identity link function in PROC MIXED.
I used a Laplace distribution and an identity link function in the glm to accommodate the leptokurtosis.
Dichotomous traits were simulated using the disease model given in equation 1 under a logit link, and continuous traits with the identity link.
In the 'per sample' analysis we used a binary marginal generalized linear regression (GLM) models with an identity link function for all analyses.
We therefore also built a Poisson model with an identity link, in which the hospital admissions increase proportionally with unit increase of virus activity.
It is a linear mixed-effects model with normal error distribution and identity link function and includes tree identity and season identity as crossed random effects.
In the parametric survival model (eqn 3) survival time was considered as a logistically distributed variable using an identity link function [16].
The procedure relaxes the assumptions of normal distribution and identity link [35], a crucial prerequisite for the ordinal data of this study.
The difference in HHV-8 DNA copy number among clinician- and participant-collected oral swabs and among groups was determined using GEE Gaussian regression with an identity link.
