Lorenzo: 1. This is a statistics question, not an R question. 2. Your statistical background appears inadequate -- it looks like Poisson regression, which would fall under "generalized linear models". But it depends on how "discrete" discrete is (on some level, all measurements are discrete, dis

[R] Linear Model with Discrete Data

Dear All, I am struggling with a linear model and an allegedly trivial data set. The data set does not consist of categorical variables, but rather of numerical discrete variables (essentially, they count the number of times that something happened). Can I still use a standard linear regressi
