What does weights do in GLM?
If a binomial glm model was specified by giving a two-column response, the weights returned by prior. weights are the total numbers of cases (factored by the supplied case weights) and the component y of the result is the proportion of successes.
How does R GLM work?
glm() is the function that tells R to run a generalized linear model. It must be coded 0 & 1 for glm to read it as binary. After the ~, we list the two predictor variables. The * indicates that not only do we want each main effect, but we also want an interaction term between numeracy and anxiety.
Why is GLM used?
The GLM generalizes linear regression by allowing the linear model to be related to the response variable via a link function and by allowing the magnitude of the variance of each measurement to be a function of its predicted value.
Can you set the GLM prior weights other than 1?
You can only set the GLM prior weights for those families to a value other than 1 if you are willing to embrace a quasi-likelihood model. weights are not calculated endogenously. It depends from the nature of your data, and the specific problem you are working at.
When to skip weights in a binary GLM?
It depends from the nature of your data, and the specific problem you are working at. If your data don’t provide any particularly good reason to specify a set of weights, simply skip that parameter, and glm () will automatically treat all observations as of equal weight.

How are weights determined in a binomial GLM?
For true likelihood based binomial GLMs, the weight argument is determined by the number of trials and cannot be varied. Similar considerations apply to other count-based GLM families such as Poisson and negative binomial .
How to calculate the coefficients of the GLM function?
glm(Y~1,weights=w*1000,family=binomial) Call: glm(formula = Y ~ 1, family = binomial, weights = w * 1000) Coefficients: (Intercept) -3.153e+15 I saw many other examples like this even with some moderate scaling in weights.
