Hi all,
I seem to recall that some of you (spunky, Dason, and other) might be doing research using latent variable models and their variants.
As I start to ask more questions about the temporal sequences of signaling, aggression, and courtship in my experiments on birds (and now spiders), I'm looking into Generalized Linear Latent and Mixed Models. I haven't done an exhaustive search for resources, but I'm curious if any of you might have some ideas of R packages that are currently under development for these sorts of models OR if there are papers outlining how to manually construct such models piece-meal. I mention that latter because this is what I ended up having to do for some recent predator census data. I'm okay doing this long-hand when the models are being put through the proverbial tests in the literature.
Just curious if you all had some ideas of where to begin.
Best,
Patrick
