Word of advice:

If you aren't certain what a method does, how to properly use it, how to check the model's assumptions and validity, or how to interpret its results, then you should consult with a statistician.

The purpose of that field of science known as "statistics" is to provide the means for measuring the amount of subjectivity that goes into the scientists' conclusions and thus to separate "science" from "opinion."
