Hello All R Users, Function loglm() in library MASS can be cajoled to accomodate structural zeros in a cross-classification table. An example from Fienberg demonstrates how this can be done. My question is: Can the function glm() perform the same task? Can glm() estimate a log-linear model with fixed zeros like loglm()? Thanks for your help, Andrew ## Fienberg, The Analysis of Cross-Classified Contingency Tables, 2nd ed., p.148. ## Results from sur...

Dear all, Could someone point me to a function or algorithm to generate random bivariate binomial data? Some details about what I'm trying to do. I have a dataset of trees who were categorised as not damaged or damaged. Each tree is measured twice (once in two consecutive years). The trees can recover from the damage but the data is clearly correlated. As a (un)damaged tree is more likely

I am fairly new to log-linear modelling, so as opposed to trying to fit modells, I am still trying to figure out how it actually works - hence I am looking at the interpretation of parameters. Now it seems most people skip this part and go directly to measuring model fit, so I am finding very few references to actual parameters, and am of course clear on the fact that their choice is irelevant for
