Interesting. Now the fifth homework question you have posted here. As was stated before (by several members) this is not a homework forum.

What does it tell me? How should the formula for Y look like, out from the summary? Is it something like Y=0.334288*X_sum+0.434262*X_2+ ?? And when I get a expression for Y, what does it tell me? Is it an expected expression? Can anyone help me please? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/glm-fit-tp23443121p23443121.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
