Hello all:
I've been given the following data and have been asked to run a logit 
model using glm().  The variable, Y, is a proportion ranging from 0 to 
1, X is a covariate.  Without a base number of observations from which Y 
is computed as a proportion, I believe there is not sufficient information.
If I try the model below, R seems to grumble with a complaint.
glm(cbind(Y,1-Y) ~ X, family = binomial)
non-integer counts in a binomial glm! in: eval(expr, envir, enclos)
Am I correct to believe that more information is required?
Thanks,
ANDREW
