More on goodness-of-fit: Pearson and deviance residuals. Test of hypotheses on individual parameters. Test of linear restrictions - nested models. Estimation of dispersion parameter.

Introduction to SPlus: reading data, creating new numerical and qualitative variables, displaying a two-way table, creating a matrix, converting a qualitative variable into a factor, factor levels, estimating a glm model.

Estimation of a binomial GLM: modeling of proportions; weights; default dispersion parameter value; displaying and interpreting estimation results; individual parameter significance tests; tests based on the deviance; obtaining extra output; interpreting graphs.

Example 1: logistic regression for the Missing Persons Data (Worksheet 8).
