The islands are rich in flora and fauna. Scientists are still perplexed by the fact that such a diverse set of species can flourish in such a small and remote group of islands.

Getting ready

In order to complete this recipe we shall be using species dataset. The first step is collecting the data.

Step 1 - collecting and describing the data

We will utilize the number of species dataset titled gala that is available at https://github.com/burakbayramli/kod/blob/master/books/Practical_Regression_Anove_Using_R_Faraway/gala.txt .

The dataset includes 30 cases and seven variables in the dataset. The seven numeric measurements include the following:
