bma.glm.S contains two functions, "bma.glm" and "makepolys"

These functions are for implementing Bayesian Model Averaging as
described in "The Use of Bayesian Model Averaging to better represent
uncertainty in ecological models."  by Wintle, McCarthy, Volinsky, and
Kavanagh.  

bma.glm is a revised version of bic.glm which is able to
assess models using other criteria, including AIC and RIC.  

makepolys is a function written by Brendan Wintle to create an
orthogonal group of quadratic variables for the purpose of passing to
bma.glm.  Running makepolys creates a matrix called "xpoly" to be
passed to the bma.glm function - along with a positive value of the
variable 'nquad'.
