I am getting odd results from the bayesglm function in the ARM package.  Running
R 3.0.2 and downloaded the most resent ARM package.  Every dataset I try runs,
but the output is incorrect - I get a null deviance that is less than the
residual deviance.  I have tested this with datasets I have used for a class
many times before and know what the results should be, but get the same result -
coefficients are different and the null deviance is less than the residual
deviance.  I am not a Bayesian person - I just like to run this to compare to
the standard GLM in logistic regressions.  Standard GLM works fine and gives
same/similar results as I have gotten in the past with the test data, but the
bayesglm does not.  Any suggestions?
