[R] Checking the assumptions for a proper GLM model

[Jay]

Well, yes and no. Obviously I was not asking for the complete recap of
a all the theory on the subject. My main concern is finding readily
available CRAN functions and packages that would help me in the
process. I've found the UCLA site to be very informative and spent a
lot of time ther the last couple of days. However, their section on
using R for validating the assumptions is very lacking. Naturally
links like google.com and amazon.com will eventually get me there, but
if somebody have other recommendations, I would be very fortunate to
get even more help.

BR,
Jay
