At one time the "answer" would have been to buy a copy of Venables and
Ripley's "Modern Applied Statistics with S" (and R), and that would
still be a sensible strategy. There are now quite a few other R-
centric texts that have been published in the last few years. Search
Amazon if needed. You seem to be asking for a tutorial on general
linear modeling (which if you read the Posting Guide you will find is
not a service offered by the r-help list.) Perhaps you should have
edited the link you provided in the obvious fashion:
http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/R/
Perhaps one of these pages:
http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/R/dae/default.htm
The UCLA Statistics website used to be dismissive of R, but they more
recently appear to have seen the light. There is also a great amount
of contributed teaching material on CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html
... and more would be readily available via Googling with "r-project"
as part of a search strategy. Frank Harrell's material is in
particular quite useful:

So what I'm looking for is readily available tools/packages that could
produce some of the following:
3.6 Summary of Useful Commands (STATA: Source:

* linktest--performs a link test for model specification, in our
case to check if logit is the right link function to use. This command
is issued after the logit or logistic command.

and performs nonlinearity test.
But, since I'm new to GLM, I owuld greatly appreciate how you/others
go about and test the validity of a GLM model.

Hello,
Are there any packages/functions available for testing the
assumptions
underlying assumptions for a good GLM model? Like linktest in STATA
and smilar. If not, could somebody please describe their work process
when they check the validity of a logit/probit model?
