R makes it very easy to fit a logistic regression model. The function to be called isglm()and the fitting process is not so different from the one used in linear regression. In this post I am going to fit a binary logistic regression model and explain each step. The dataset We’ll be...

The function requires a named argument for thedv, but uses ellipsis to indicate that you could have any number of predictors. Inside the function, you usedeparse()andsubstitute()on the predictors and pass them on to thereformulate()function along with thedv. I includeddv=dvinside the functio...
Then as in previous post they anwered to me I tried to extract the variance of fixed effect: # Variance of random effects:vc<-lme4::VarCorr(GlM_habitats)print(vc,comp=c("Variance","Std.Dev."),digits=2)Conditional model:Groups Name Variance Std.Dev. Season(Intercept)5.7e-137.5e-07Si...
I have a question about the output of my glm model WITHOUT an intercept. I am comparing the number of infected leaves on plants in different months. In the case of a model WITH an intercept (using the default log link of the Poisson model), the (Intercept) should represent the log of...
You may use the list ascheat sheetwhenever you are facing an error or warning message in R. Let’s dive into the examples! Debugging in R – Some General Advice Debugging in R can be a painful process. However, there are someuseful tools and functionsavailable that can be used to make...

We use three functions (to neatly separate concerns). stripGLMModel() is from Trimming the fat from glm models in R and does the ugly work of stomping out fields we are not using and re-writing environments of functions. This is exactly the work we have to do because the glm() fun...
To tackle the problem of missing observations, we will use the titanic dataset. In this dataset, we have access to the information of the passengers on board during the tragedy. This dataset has many NA that need to be taken care of. ...
Some people seem to be working around with the glm.nb function - but I am a bit unsure of what it is doing to my data so am a bit weary to just go ahead and use it. Can someone explain to me how to find the dispersion parameter (theta) that can be put in the...
