Interesting. Now the fifth homework question you have posted here. As was 
stated before (by several members) this is not a homework forum.

Subject: [R] glm fit


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|)

(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?
