+### Model Formulae
+
+SparkR allows the fitting of generalized linear models over DataFrames
using the glm() function. Under the hood, SparkR uses MLlib to train a model of
the specified family. In Spark 1.5, we support a subset of the available R
formula operators for model fitting, including '~', '.', '+', and '-'. The
example below shows the use of R formulae with SparkR.

Actually it'll be better to talk about the families and link functions
supported here before the formula. Also we could reword the example sentence to
say `the example below shows the use of building a gaussian GLM model using
SparkR`.
