Hints for the best package

[marco-2]

I am new to this field and I am currently studying the most basic problem of
statistics, I think.

I have an indicator that is 0 or 1 and many categorical and continuous
variables.  I have to create a predictive model for the indicator.

Could anyone provide me a direction in terms of packages that already
tackled this kind of problem.

Thanks,

Marco

It sounds like you want multiple logistic regression: I think most
people find the mlogit package quite helpful there. See also:
