[R] FW: logistic regression

[Darin Brooks]

Glad you were amused.

I assume that "booking this as a fortune" means that this was an idiotic way

MARS?  Boosted Regression Trees?  Any of these a better choice to extract
significant predictors (from a list of about 44) for a measured dependent
variable?
