Hi Phil, >> So far for logistic regression I've tried glm(MASS) and lrm (Design) and >> found there is a big >> difference.
Be sure that you mean what you say, that you are saying what you mean, and that you know what you mean when making such statements, especially on this list. glm is not in MASS, so perhaps you mean polr in package MASS. And no, there is no big difference. You are doing something wrong. ## Edited output from polr and lrm > house.lrm <- lrm(Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, weights = Freq, data = housing) > house.lrm Logistic Regression Model lrm(formula = Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, data = housing, weights = Freq) <snip> Coef S.E.
