[R] Which glm "familiy" to choose with a skewed distribution of residuals, gaussian?

[Joshua Wiley]

Dear Céline,

First of all, this list is primarily for questions related to using R,
not statistical questions.  Regardless, you would receive better
feedback if you provided more information and details.  What type of
data are you modelling?  You say your distribution is skewed---how is
it skewed?  Have you tried transforming the data?

You can pull up the documentation listing the various families by
typing (at the console) ?family  perhaps that will give you some ideas
at least to what is readily available in R.

Sincerely,

Josh
