Description
Identical to summary.glm, but with three lines of additional output: the
ML estimate of theta, its standard error, and twice the log-likelihood
function.
As for summary.glm; the additional lines of output are not included in
the resultant object.
Arguments
object
fitted model object of class negbin inheriting from glm and lm.
Typically the output of glm.nb.
dispersion
as for summary.glm, with a default of 1.
correlation
as for summary.glm.
...
arguments passed to or from other methods.
Side Effects
A summary table is produced as for summary.glm, with the additional

result.
This function is a method for the generic function

It can be invoked by calling summary(x) for an
object x of the appropriate class, or directly by
