10.5 Next steps

Here, we have demonstrated how to communicate the biological predictions of statistical models that we use to test hypotheses. These included most common frameworks for data analysis within the context of linear models. We will continue to apply these tools to as we extend our modeling framework to include non-normal response variables of interest in later chapters. First, in Chapter 11, we’ll explore model selection as a way of choosing between hypotheses that are represented by all of these different models.
