Hi, Dennis was kind of enough to remind me that glm() can take a two column matrix, which is probably what you did with deadalive. He also gave a rather elegant graphing solution using xyplot:
xyplot(Alive/20 ~ Dose, data = rat.toxic, groups = Sex, type = c('p', 'a')) Josh On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 8:23 AM, Joshua Wiley <jwiley.ps...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 7:21 AM, klsk89 <karenkls...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> Hi i would like to use some graphs or tables to explore the data and make >> some sensible guesses of what to expect to see in a glm model to assess if >> toxin concentration and sex have a relationship with the kill rate of rats. >> But i cant seem to work it out as i have two predictor >> variables~help?Thanks.:) > > What about xtabs?
