SPlus examples: Binomial distribution

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; family and link options; 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 probability of failure of O-rings (Worksheet 7). Example 2: logistic regression for the Missing Persons Data (Worksheet 8).
