chisq: Chi-squared Distribution

Description

Maximum likelihood estimation of the degrees of freedom for a chi-squared distribution.

Usage

chisq(link = "loglink", zero = NULL)

Value

An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class). The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm, and vgam.

Arguments

link, zero

See CommonVGAMffArguments for information.

cdata <- transform(cdata, y1 = rchisq(nn, df = exp(1 - 1 * x2)),
                          y2 = rchisq(nn, df = exp(2 - 2 * x2)))
fit <- vglm(cbind(y1, y2) ~ x2, chisq, data = cdata, trace = TRUE)
coef(fit, matrix = TRUE)
