- Default method is Nelder-Mead (no gradients
robust but slow). Poor for 1D — use `Brent` or `optimize()`.

- `predict.glm` with `type = response` gives predictions on the response scale (e.g.
probabilities for logistic); `type = link` (default) gives on the link scale.

- `lowess` parameter is `f` (span
default 2/3); `loess` parameter is `span` (default 0.75).

- `lowess` is the older function; returns `list(x
y)` — cannot predict at new points.

- `aov` is a wrapper around `lm` that stores extra info for balanced ANOVA. For unbalanced designs
Type I SS (sequential) are computed — order of terms matters.

- For Type III SS
use `car::Anova()` or set contrasts to `contr.sum`/`contr.helmert`.

- Quasi-families (`quasibinomial`
`quasipoisson`) allow overdispersion — no AIC is computed.

- `anova(glm_obj
test = Chisq)` for deviance-based tests; `F` is invalid for non-Gaussian families.

- `weights` in `glm` means **prior weights** (not frequency weights) — for frequency weights
use the cbind trick or offset.

- Column names from `model.matrix` can be surprising: e.g.
`factorLevelName` concatenation.

- Default `family = gaussian(link = identity)` — `glm()` with no `family` silently fits OLS (same as `lm`
but slower and with deviance-based output).

- `I()` is required to use arithmetic operators literally: `y ~ x + I(x^2)`. Without `I()`
`^` means interaction crossing.

- `model.matrix` creates the design matrix including dummy coding. Default contrasts: `contr.treatment` for unordered factors
`contr.poly` for ordered.
