Binary GLM for the Wells Dataset

Let’s learn how to fit binary GLMs on the Wells dataset.

It looks like the probability of switching declines with distance, which seems like a reasonable expectation. Before we fit the GLM, we can avoid inconveniently small coefficient values by rescaling the distance in hundreds of meters:

wells$dist100 <- wells$dist/100

We can fit a GLM of switching versus distance, specify a binomial distribution and the default logit link function, and examine the residuals. Click the “Run” button in the code widget below to see this in action:
