Hi Yana Trying to interpret associations in complex loglinear models from tables of parameter estimates is like trying to extract sunlight from a cucumber. You have to squeeze very hard, and then are usually unhappy with the quality of the sunlight. Instead, you can visualize the association

Hello R-users, I do not have much knowledge about generalized linear models therefore my question maybe quite stupid. I have data from 20 towns with their population and number of people with an illness from those towns. I would like to use glm function in R so I can calculate proportions of ill
