This is the first server-side aggregate function called by ds.glm
glmDS1(formula, family, weights, offset, data)List with values from GLM model.
a glm() formula consistent with R syntax eg U~x+y+Z to regress variables U on x,y and Z
a glm() family consistent with R syntax eg "gaussian", "poisson", "binomial"
an optional variable providing regression weights
the offset
an optional character string specifying a data.frame object holding the data to be analysed under the specified model

It is an aggregation function that sets up the model structure and creates the starting beta.vector that feeds, via ds.glm, into glmDS2 to enable iterative fitting of the generalized linear model that has been been specified. For more details please see the extensive header for ds.glm.
