Simple methods for segmentation of biological images.

In the previous two posts we saw how to use Scikit Image to perform some basic image processing. This post will introduce you to image segmentation, one of the most important steps in image analysis. I am going to cover some of the “traditional” methods that work well in many situations. These methods require adaptation […]

GLMs for the analysis of binary outcomes

Example of GLM
Introduction In previous posts, I discussed how to deal with situations where you measure a continuous outcome and you want to explain its variability as a function of one or more continuous or discrete variables, using linear regression or mixed-effects models. However, there are situations where these linear models are not the best solution to […]
