This function is used within the distribution family specification of a GAMLSS model to define the right link for each of the parameters of the distribution. This function should not be called by the user unless he/she specify a new distribution family or wishes to change existing link functions in the parameters.
checklink(which.link = NULL, which.dist = NULL, link = NULL, link.List = NULL)
Defines the right link for each parameter
which parameter link e.g. which.link="mu.link"
which distribution family e.g. which.dist="Cole.Green"
a repetition of which.link
e.g. link=substitute(mu.link)
what link function are required e.g. link.List=c("inverse", "log", "identity")
