Dear Marc Schwartz:
When I ask R2.6.0 for windows, the information it gives does not contain
much about family=binomial .
You said that there is a detail section of "?glm". I want to read it
thoroughly. Could you tell me where and how I can find the detail section
of "?glm".
Thank you very much .
Best regards,
Bin Yue
