[R] Generalized linear models with categorical data

2010-11-25 Thread Diogo B. Provete
I got a question about using a GLZ with categorical x categorical data. Below there is a data set I want to know the influence of treatments (CONT, and LPS2H LPS24H) on the categories of pigmentation of the right testis of an amphibian. From these data, I used the function glm with binomial family

I think I need to restate the problem. If the test data is only a vector, then I am predicting one test sample. But the output from the predict result has the same length as the training set. And there is a warning message about this. Annie On Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 2:52 PM, annie Zhang

Hi, R users, I am trying to use glm to do logistic regression. I know generally when I have two covariates, say x1 and x2, then I do fit - glm(y~x1+x2,famliy='binomial') But now my covariates form a n*p matrix, say x, so actually each column is a covariate. So I think I should do fit -

I think you are off-track because max.loss does not sound like a proper Y variable. Because max.loss is an amount that is known, in the insurance applications I have seen it would have been modeled within an offset term. Many of the examples have used number of ships or buildings or the

Actually both max.loss and loss are known values (in dollars). I'm very much doubt, what to choose. glm(max.loss~loss,family=gaussian(link=identity) or glm(formula = sum ~ claims * as.factor(grp), family = gaussian(link = identity)) or glm(loss~max.loss,family=gaussian(link=identity) we

Although both are known now, there is a time element involved in which one, max.loss was fixed at the time of underwriting and loss was unknown at that time. This *is* an insurance question is it not? Wouldn't the question be: Can one use the group variable to estimate the proportion of
