[R] default family object in glm

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

>From ?glm() you get:

...

Usage

glm(formula, family = gaussian, data, weights, subset,
    na.action, start = NULL, etastart, mustart,
    offset, control = glm.control(...), model = TRUE,
    method = "glm.fit", x = FALSE, y = TRUE, contrasts = NULL, ...)

...


So the default family is the gaussian.

Best,
Dimitris
