Visualizations for Non-trivial Linear Models

Classroom examples and problems for most users of statistics seldom go beyond a simple two factor fixed effects linear model while real research is more often a mixture of fixed and random effects as well as continuous covariates. Statisticians readily work with these more advanced models, but researchers, particularly graduate students outside of statistics generally need help understanding what these statistical models are telling them. Visualizations greatly aid in understanding interactions, fixed versus random effects and the interplay between continuous and categorical factors. We will look at a couple of examples of models from the GVSU Biomechanics lab and how visualizations in R have helped graduate students in the Physical Therapy program to understand their data.
