[R] Obtaining predicted values for glm() function

[DHIMAN BHADRA]

Thanks Jeff for the suggestion - will explore the predict function. So far
I was working on the fitted() function but it seems to generate fitted
(response) values only for predictor values in the original data set, not
for values beyond that.

I never intended to spam the mailing list. I re-posted only when I did not
find my original post in my inbox, which led to think that my query has not
reached the R-family.

Thanks again for your suggestion,
Dhiman
