VGAM (version 0.9-0)

G1G2G3: The G1G2G3 Blood Group System

Description

Estimates the three independent parameters of the the G1G2G3 blood group system.

Usage

G1G2G3(link = "logit", ip1 = NULL, ip2 = NULL, iF = NULL)

Arguments

link

Link function applied to p1, p2 and f. See Links for more choices.

ip1, ip2, iF

Optional initial value for p1, p2 and f.

Value

• An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class). The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm and vgam.

Details

The parameters p1 and p2 are probabilities, so that p3=1-p1-p2 is the third probability. The parameter f is the third independent parameter.
