I know how to make the intercept 0 in glm, but I actually want to force my intercept to be 1. Is there a way I can do this? Peter
set intercept in glm to non-0

Use an offset with a non-intercept model? I wonder if there could be problems depending on the choice of family. -- David Winsemius

Yes dat$ones<-1 glm(y~0+x+offset(ones), data=dat, family=whatever)
I wonder if there could be problems depending on the choice of family.
Only in the sense that if the model fits badly it might run up against the edge of the parameter space in some families, which is no different than the potential problems with a zero intercept.
