You are not creating your data set properly.

Your 'mat' is:

mat
    column1 column2
1        1       0
2        1       0
3        0       1
4        0       0
5        1       1
6        1       0
7        1       0
8        0       1
9        0       0
10       1       1


What you really want is:

DF<- data.frame(y = c(1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1), x = c(5,4,1,6,3,6,5,3,7,9))


Actually it is in general safer to have a factor y rather than numeric y for classification tasks.

I think it is likely I am missing something.  Here is a very simple example:

R code:

mat<- matrix(nrow = 10, ncol = 2, c(1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1),
c(5,4,1,6,3,6,5,3,7,9), dimnames = list(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),
c("column1","column2")))

g<- glm(mat[1:10] ~ mat[11:20], family = binomial (link = logit))

g$converged


SAS code:

data mat;
input col1 col2;
datalines;
1 5
0 4
1 1
0 6
0 3
1 6
0 5
0 3
1 7
1 9
;

proc logistic data=mat descending;
model col1 = col2 / link=logit;
run;

SAS output (in case you don't have access to SAS):
Convergence criterion satisfied

                  Estimate       SE
Intercept    -1.6118          1.7833
col2            0.3293          0.3383


Of course, with an example this small, it is not so surprising that the two
methods differ; and they hardly differ by a single S.  But as the datasets
get larger, the difference is more pronounced.  Let me know if you would
like me to send you a large dataset.  I get the feeling I am doing something
wrong in R, so please let me know what you think.

Thank you!

do you have factors (categorical variables) in the model?  it could be
just a parameterization difference.

Dear R developers,

I have noticed a discrepancy between the coefficients returned by R's
glm()
for logistic regression and SAS's PROC LOGISTIC.  I am using dist =
binomial
and link = logit for both R and SAS.  I believe R uses IRLS whereas SAS
uses
Fisher's scoring, but the difference is something like 100 SE on the
intercept.  What accounts for such a huge difference?

Thank you for your time.
