The <code>coefficients</code> component of the result gives the estimated coefficients and their estimated standard errors, together with their ratio. This third column is labelled <code>t ratio</code> if the dispersion is estimated, and <code>z ratio</code> if the dispersion is known (or fixed by the family). A fourth column gives the two-tailed p-value corresponding to the t or z ratio based on a Student t or Normal reference distribution. (It is possible that the dispersion is not known and there are no residual degrees of freedom from which to estimate it. In that case the estimate is <code>NaN</code>.) </p> <p>Aliased coefficients are omitted in the returned object but restored by the <code>print</code> method. </p> <p>Correlations are printed to two decimal places (or symbolically): to see the actual correlations print <code>summary(object)$correlation</code> directly. </p> <p>The dispersion of a GLM is not used in the fitting process, but it is needed to find standard errors. If <code>dispersion</code> is not supplied or <code>NULL</code>, the dispersion is taken as <code>1</code> for the <code>binomial</code> and <code>Poisson</code> families, and otherwise estimated by the residual Chisquared statistic (calculated from cases with non-zero weights) divided by the residual degrees of freedom. </p> <p><code>summary</code> can be used with Gaussian <code>glm</code> fits to handle the case of a linear regression with known error variance, something not handled by <code><a href="summary.lm.html">summary.lm</a></code>. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p><code>summary.glm</code> returns an object of class <code>"summary.glm"</code>, a list with components </p> <table summary="R valueblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>call</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>family</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>deviance</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>contrasts</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>df.residual</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>null.deviance</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>df.null</code></td> <td> <p>the component from <code>object</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>deviance.resid</code></td> <td> <p>the deviance residuals: see <code><a href="glm.summaries.html">residuals.glm</a></code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>coefficients</code></td> <td> <p>the matrix of coefficients, standard errors, z-values and p-values.
