Hi guys,
I'm currently doing a research project as part of my internship on mangrove damage along a river as a consequence of a major flood event. Shoreline was analysed for 1 meter sections. For each section my data comprises of the categorical categories mortality (yes/no) and certain other categories such as damage (yes/no).
Now i want to test several factors (location from rivermouth, innerbend/outerbend, species type, etc) in order to see what their relative contributions are. As a section might be affected by several factors in different ways, while checking for one factor i want to 'eliminate the effects of another factor'. What test should i be using? I read that loglinear regression can be applied to categorical data, but can this be used for several factors at a time?
Any help is appreciated!
Robert
