locfit.quasi
assumes a specified mean-variance relation,
and performs iterartive reweighted local regression under this
assumption. This is appropriate for local quasi-likelihood models,
and is an alternative to specifying a family such as "qpoisson"
.
locfit.quasi
is designed as a front end
to locfit.raw
with data vectors, or as an intemediary
between locfit
and locfit.raw
with a
model formula. If you can stand the syntax, the second calling
sequence above will be slightly more efficient than the third.
locfit.quasi(x, y, weights, ..., iter=3, var=abs)
"locfit"
object.
Either a locfit
model formula or a numeric vector
of the predictor variable.
If x
is numeric, y
gives the response variable.
Case weights to use in the fitting.
Other arguments to locfit.raw
Number of EM iterations to perform
Function specifying the assumed relation between the mean and variance.
