[R] Which glm "familiy" to choose with a skewed distribution of residuals, gaussian?
Dear C?line, First of all, this list is primarily for questions related to using R, not statistical questions. Regardless, you would receive better feedback if you provided more information and details. What type of data are you modelling? You say your distribution is skewed---how is it skewed? Have you tried transforming the data? You can pull up the documentation listing the various families by typing (at the console) ?family perhaps that will give you some ideas at least to what is readily available in R.
