glmFamily-class: Class "glmFamily" - a reference class for family

Description

This class is a wrapper class for family objects specifying a distibution family and link function for a generalized linear model (glm). The reference class contains an external pointer to a C++ object representing the class. For common families and link functions the functions in the family are implemented in compiled code so they can be accessed from other compiled code and for a speed boost.

Extends

All reference classes extend and inherit methods from "'>envRefClass".
