Hi, I try to ask here, because I hope someone will help me understand this problem-
I have fittet a glm in R with the results > glm1 <- > glm(log(claims)~log(sum)*as.factor(grp),family=gaussian(link="identity")) > summary(glm1) Call: glm(formula = log(claims) ~ log(sum) * as.factor(grp), family = gaussian(link = "identity")) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -6.6836 -1.3626 -0.2576 1.2038 8.2480 Coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 3.525657 0.436102 8.084 8.18e-16 *** log(sum) 0.334288 0.025668 13.024 < 2e-16 *** as.factor(grp)2 0.434262 0.976240 0.445 0.6565 as.factor(grp)3 3.666490 1.436471 2.552 0.0107 * as.factor(grp)4 0.040782 1.024730 0.040 0.9683 log(sum):as.factor(grp)2 0.007719 0.061914 0.125 0.9008 log(sum):as.factor(grp)3 -0.209986 0.091578 -2.293 0.0219 * log(sum):as.factor(grp)4 0.059342 0.067320 0.881 0.3781 --- Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1 (Dispersion parameter for gaussian family taken to be 3.693731) Null deviance: 15839 on 4035 degrees of freedom Residual deviance: 14878 on 4028 degrees of freedom AIC: 16737 Number of Fisher Scoring iterations: 2 But i'm not sure what I get out of the summary. What does it tell me? How should the formula for Y look like, out from the summary? Is it something like Y=0.334288*X_sum+0.434262*X_2+ ?? And when I get a expression for Y, what does it tell me? Is it an expected expression? Can anyone help me please? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/glm-fit-tp23443121p23443121.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
