Lake diversity (Data file: lakes) The number of crustacean zooplankton species present in a lake can be different, even for two nearby lakes. The data from Dodson (1992) give the number of known crustacean zooplankton species for 69 world lakes. Also included are a number of characteristics of each lake. There are some missing values; most computer programs will delete all rows of data that are missing any of the predictors and the response, so your analysis will likely be based on the 42 fully observed lakes. The goal of the analysis is to understand how the number of species present depends on the other measured variables that are characteristics of the lake. The variables are described in Table
Decide on appropriate transformations of the data to be used in this problem. Then, fit appropriate linear regression models, and summarize your results. Include residual analysis to support your conclusions.
