Revisiting the Challenger Dataset with GLMs

Let’s revisit the Challenger dataset with GLMs.

R packages

We’ll use the following R packages in this chapter:

  • faraway
  • arm
  • ggplot2
  • Sleuth3

Introduction

This course began with a brief analysis of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Let’s finish this course by revisiting that example and use it to consider some of the key points of this course.
