[R] logistic regression

[Spencer Graves]

      Have you considered function "glm" with some polynomial in the 
independent variable?  Regarding a more general reference, have you seen 
Venables and Ripley (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed. 
(Springer)?  If the answer to either of these questions is "no", you 
might get many answers to these and related questions from these 
references, including working the examples provided with the "glm" 
documentation -- and in reading the posting guide! 
"http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html". 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
