Public} \date{\today} \usepackage{fullpage} % use paper more efficiently \usepackage{graphicx} % need this to include pictures \usepackage{amsmath} % i like this for the added math macros, but % you may not need it \begin{document} \maketitle \section{Introduction} \label{intro} (Indicate the scientific question(s) to be answered. Introduce your approach to the analysis. Indicate the structure of your paper. Make your summary clear and factual.)\\ The organization of the paper is as follows: In section~\ref{data} we describe our data. In section~\ref{methods} the methodology and assumptions of our analysis are given in detail. Section~\ref{results} summarizes our findings, and a discussion is found in section~\ref{discussion}. \section{The Data} \label{data} (Describe your data. Give specifics. Indicate special features. etc. If the data is easy to describe, perhaps lump this section in with the intro (thats my personal preference unless this involves a long description).) \\ \section{Methods} \label{methods} (Your audience should be someone who got a Master's degree (or a first year PhD student) in statistics a few years back. Don't waste time with trivial details, but indicate the analytics tools you use with enough detail that your analysis could be reproduced by the reader. Be sure to discuss relevant assumptions) \\ \subsection{Generalized Linear Models for Extinction Risk} \label{glm} In this section we describe the Generalized Linear Model used to analyze the data. % ``eqnarray'' is for a whole series of equations that you % want to line up in a certain way -- that is what the & signs % do. For just a single line equations, use \begin{equation}. \begin{eqnarray} \label{eq1} E_{ijk} &\sim& {\rm Bin}(n_{ijk}, p_{ijk}) \;\; {\rm Independent} \\ \log\left(\frac{p_{ijk}}{1-p_{ijk}}\right) &=& \mu + \alpha_i + \beta_j + \gamma _k \end{eqnarray} where treatment-style constraints were employed forcing $\alpha_1 = \beta_1 = \gamma_1 = 0$. \section{Results} \label{results} (In Results provide the findings (eg. the final models, estimate's s.e.'s, confidence intervals, principal summarizing quantities [numerical \& graphical], ...) and especially important points (unexpected predictor variables, ...). Describe examinations carried out of the basic assumptions made.'') \\ In this section we present the results for the analyses described in section~\ref{methods}. Fitting the model~(\ref{eq1}) using maximum liklihood leads to the following estimates: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{r|c|c} \hline param. & estimate & estimated SE \\ \hline $\mu$ & 6.11 & 1.34 \\ $\alpha_2$ & -1.52 & 0.71 \\ $\beta_2$ & -2.03 & 0.86 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Table 2 : MLE's under model (2) \end{center} % Incorporating postscript files into your report can make % you look quite smart -- that's my secret to success. Here % is how it is done. %\begin{figure}[hhh] %\centering %\includegraphics[scale=0.5,angle=-90]{pic.ps} %\caption{Marginal density approximations for 10 dimensional % standard Normal. $L_1$ distances between approximations and truth % as a function of joint density evaluations. Solid lines are for % AQMC, dashed for Metropolis.} %\label{10dim} %\end{figure} % % %In the text we would cite Figure \ref{10dim} like this. % % \section{Discussion} \label{discussion} (Among other things, discuss the reasonableness of the assumptions upon which your analysis is based. Discuss limitations of the model(s) you fit. You might indicate areas for further investigation. Interpret conclusions in the context of the original scientific question(s).)\\ \section{Conclusion} \label{conclusion} (Review important parts of the analysis and important findings. Discuss how you analysis addressed the original scientific question)\\ \section{References} \label{References} (You used some right???? Be sure to list them here.) % % If you are a latex wizard use bibtex, otherwise do something like the following % %\begin{thebibliography}{99} % \bibitem{DandJ} Dow, W. \& Jones, E.A., % {\it Wall Street Journal}, % March 29, 1929. % \end{thebibliography} % % The in the text when I want to cite the Dow-Jones \cite{DanJ} I do this. % % % \appendix \section{Supplementary Tables or Figures} (Sometimes you might have additional figures or tables that want to show, but not talk about too heavily in your main text. Place them here.) \section{Computer code} (This is optional, but it might make it easier for me to check exactly what it is you did) % % You might also like to include your raw commands/computer out here. % perhaps in the form of an appendix section. Otherwise you might just % add it as a seperate document % % One way to make it look distinctly different (and also get things % lining up properly) is to use the Latex verbatim environment % % \begin{verbatim} % this text should like typewriter like % \end{verbatim} % \end{document}
