an object of class "vglm", usually, a result of a
call to vglm.

a result of a call to summaryvglm().
used mainly for GLMs.
See summary.glm.
logical; if TRUE, the correlation matrix of
the estimated parameters is returned and printed.
the number of significant digits to use when printing.
logical;
if TRUE, ‘significance stars’
are printed for each coefficient.
Pearson residuals; print out some summary statistics of these?
logical;
if TRUE (the default) then a test for the HDE is performed,
else all arguments related to the HDE are ignored.
logical;
if a test for the Hauck-Donner effect is done
(for each coefficient)
and it is affirmative should that Wald test p-value be replaced by
an NA?
The default is to do so.
Setting hde.NA = FALSE will print the p-value even though
it will be biased upwards.
Also see argument threshold.hde.
numeric;
used if hde.NA = TRUE and is present for some coefficients.
Only p-values greater than this argument will be replaced by
an NA,
the reason being that small p-values will already be
statistically significant.
Hence setting threshold.hde = 0 will print out a NA
if the HDE is present.
Fed into print().
logical;
if TRUE the names of the linear predictors
are not printed out.
The default is that they are.
Logical.
If lrt0.arg = TRUE then the other
arguments are passed into lrt.stat.vlm
and the equivalent of the so-called Wald table is outputted.
Similarly,
if score0.arg = TRUE then the other
arguments are passed into score.stat.vlm
and the equivalent of the so-called Wald table is outputted.
Similarly,
if wald0.arg = TRUE then the other
arguments are passed into wald.stat.vlm
and the Wald table corresponding to that is outputted.
See details below.
Setting any of these will result in further IRLS iterations being
performed, therefore may be computationally expensive.
These arguments are used if any of the
lrt0.arg,
score0.arg,
wald0.arg arguments are used.
They are passed into the appropriate function,
such as wald.stat.vlm.
logical; if TRUE then only print out the top half
of the usual output.
Used for P-VGAMs.

Currently the SE column is deleted
when lrt0 = TRUE because SEs are not so meaningful with the LRT.
In the future an SE column may be inserted (with NA values)
so that it has 4-column output like the other tests.
In the meantime,
the columns of this matrix should be accessed by name and not number.
Originally, summaryvglm() was written to be
very similar to summary.glm,
however now there are a quite a few more options available.
By default,
show.summary.vglm() tries to be smart about formatting the
coefficients, standard errors, etc. and additionally gives
‘significance stars’ if signif.stars is TRUE.
The coefficients component of the result gives the estimated
coefficients and their estimated standard errors, together with their
ratio.
This third column is labelled z value regardless of
whether the
dispersion is estimated or known
(or fixed by the family). A fourth column gives the two-tailed
p-value corresponding to the z ratio based on a
Normal reference distribution.
In general, the t distribution is not used, but the normal
distribution is.
Correlations are printed to two decimal places (or symbolically): to
see the actual correlations print summary(object)@correlation
directly.
The Hauck-Donner effect (HDE) is tested for almost all models;
see hdeff.vglm for details.
Arguments hde.NA and threshold.hde here are meant
to give some control of the output if this aberration of the
Wald statistic occurs (so that the p-value is biased upwards).
If the HDE is present then using lrt.stat.vlm
to get a more accurate p-value is a good
alternative as p-values based on the likelihood ratio test (LRT)
tend to be more accurate than Wald tests and do not suffer
from the HDE.
Alternatively, if the HDE is present
then using wald0.arg = TRUE
will compute Wald statistics that are HDE-free; see
wald.stat.
The arguments lrt0.arg and score0.arg
enable the so-called Wald table to be replaced by
the equivalent LRT and Rao score test table;
see
lrt.stat.vlm,
score.stat.
Further IRLS iterations are performed for both of these,
hence the computational cost might be significant.
It is possible for programmers to write a methods function to
print out extra quantities when summary(vglmObject) is
called.
The generic function is summaryvglmS4VGAM(), and one
can use the S4 function setMethod to
compute the quantities needed.
Also needed is the generic function is showsummaryvglmS4VGAM()
to actually print the quantities out.
