[R] Regression Modeling query

[Liaw, Andy]

Perhaps you have not read the posting guide, as the footer suggested?
There's a good reason why Bert said what he said.  To tell you the truth, I
was going to reply with something like:  I'd like to know how to get R to
cook dinner for me.  Can anyone help?

You really should learn how to ask questions in ways that will compell
people to respond with useful replies.  You have not told us the goal of the
analysis, the purpose for the model, the context the data came from, etc.,
not to say that the question you asked is so general that it has little to
do with R, other than the fact that you want to do it with R, and R-help is
not really the place to ask general stat questions.  You shouldn't expect
free stat consulting from a software mailing list.

Given the little info that you provided, I can recommend Prof. Harrell's
book "Regression Modelling Strategies".  You should read it over and over
until you can't get it out of your head.
