[R] glm - poisson

[ronggui]

i think that is ok.
"when a response count n(i) has index equal to t(i),the sample rate is n(i)/t(i),its expected value is u(i)/t(i)......a loglinear model for theexpeted rate has form log(u(i)/t(i))=a+bx"(agresti,2002)
this model can use glm-poisson with a offset term to estimate
