[R] Logistic and Linear Regression Libraries

[Bill.Venables at csiro.au]

glm is not, and never was. part of the MASS package.  It's in the stats package.

Have you sorted out why there is a "big difference" between the results you get using glm and lrm?  

Are you confident it is due to the algorithms used and not your ability to use the software?

To be helpful, if disappointing, I think the answer to your question is "no".  You will need to seek out the algorithms from the published information on them individually.

Hi all,

I'm trying to discover the options available to me for logistic and linear
regression. I'm doing some tests on a dataset and want to see how different
flavours of the algorithms cope.

So far for logistic regression I've tried glm(MASS) and lrm (Design) and
found there is a big difference. Is there a list anywhere detailing the
options available which details the specific algorithms used?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
