FLXMRglm: FlexMix Interface to Generalized Linear Models

Description

This is the main driver for FlexMix interfacing the glm family of models.

Usage

FLXMRglm(formula = . ~ .,
         family = c("gaussian", "binomial", "poisson", "Gamma"),
         offset = NULL)

Value

Returns an object of class FLXMRglm inheriting from FLXMR.

Arguments

formula

A formula which is interpreted relative to the formula specified in the call to flexmix using update.formula. Default is to use the original flexmix model formula.

family

A character string naming a glm family function.

offset

This can be used to specify an a priori known component to be included in the linear predictor during fitting.
