[R] weights error in svyglm

[Lee, Laura]

Thanks! That worked. However, what error distribution is assumed? I was hoping to use a negative binomial.

The error is somewhat strange, but you should not pass the result of
glm.nb() to svyglm (where have you found this idea?). Just do
SNB3 <- svyglm(COLNUM ~ Year + Depth + MESH + offset(LogEffort), design=dstrat)
