    Hi all

    In Unit 16 Generalized linear models & multivariate modelling, section 2.1, I am struggling to figure out how the predicted values were calculated for table 18.2.3, e.g. Old is 1.6, Low is 2.4 etc. Please can someone explain this table and the calculations behind it?

    Hopefully a simple question that someone can help quickly as I am only referring to core reading!

    Many thanks in advance!

    The exposure and total response figures are calculated by adding the appropriate values from the first table.
    The predicted values are then calculated by dividing the total response by the exposure.
    This and other parts of this complicated unit is all explained in the Course Notes, I'd strongly recommend reading it rather than relying on Core Reading alone.
