R help - Mar 2009 - Can not get a prediction interval from Predict

I am trying to get a prediction interval from a glm regression.

With newdat being my set of values to be fitted, and glmreg the name of my
regression, I am using the following code.

predict(glmreg, newdat, se.fit = TRUE, interval = "confidence", level
0.90)

The problem is that I am only getting the standard error and the fitted
value, not a prediction interval.

Any help would be great! Thanks so much.

?predict.glm has no "interval" argument. Perhaps you're thinking
of
?predict.lm, which is different.

To get intervals in glm, I've used:

example(predict.glm)
pr <- predict(budworm.lg, se.fit = TRUE)
family <- family(budworm.lg)
lower <- family$linkinv(pr$fit - qnorm(0.95) * pr$se.fit)
upper <- family$linkinv(pr$fit + qnorm(0.95) * pr$se.fit)

Note that these are "confidence" limits and not "prediction"
limits.
The latter would require more thought.

You could also try RSiteSearch("glm interval").
