| negative.binomial {MASS} | R Documentation |
Specifies the information required to fit a Negative Binomial generalized
linear model, with known theta parameter, using glm().
negative.binomial(theta = stop("'theta' must be specified"), link = "log")
theta |
The known value of the additional parameter, theta.
|
link |
The link function, as a character string, name or one-element
character vector specifying one of log, sqrt
or identity, or an object of class
"link-glm".
|
An object of class "family", a list of functions and
expressions needed by glm() to fit a Negative Binomial
generalized linear model.
