I maintain the Devore5 package for R. This package provides the data
sets from Jay Devore's text "Probability and Statistics for
Engineering and the Sciences (5th ed)". I am having difficulty
reproducing some logistic regression results from the textbook.
Perhaps this is because I am not using the glm function correctly.
The data from Example 13.5 (page 559 for those with a copy of the
book) are "the launch temperatures and the incidence of failure for
O-rings in 24 space shuttle launches prior to the Challenger disaster
of January 1986."
Here are the data (Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit).

Devore shows the parameter estimates for a logistic regression model
fit by JMP as
Term Estimate Std Error ChiSquare Prob>ChiSq
Intercept 10.8753321 5.7031291 3.64 0.0565
temp -0.1713202 0.0834419 4.22 0.0401
I have not been able to reproduce these results in R. My results are
> fm1 <- glm(Failure ~ Temperature, data = xmp13.05, family = "binomial")
> summary(fm1)
Call:
glm(formula = Failure ~ Temperature, family = "binomial", data = xmp13.05)

Am I doing something wrong?
