[R] Source Code glm() question

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Just type glm at the prompt.

> glm
function (formula, family = gaussian, data, weights, subset, 
    na.action, start = NULL, etastart, mustart, offset, control = list(...), 
    model = TRUE, method = "glm.fit", x = FALSE, y = TRUE, contrasts = NULL, 
    ...) 
{
    call <- match.call()
    if (is.character(family)) 
        family <- get(family, mode = "function", envir = parent.frame())
    if (is.function(family)) 
        family <- family()

and so on
