##### Method for Profiling glm Objects

Investigates the profile log-likelihood function for a fitted model of class "glm".

Keywords
models, regression
##### Usage
# S3 method for glm
profile(fitted, which = 1:p, alpha = 0.01, maxsteps = 10,
del = zmax/5, trace = FALSE, …)
##### Arguments
fitted

the original fitted model object.

which

the original model parameters which should be profiled. This can be a numeric or character vector. By default, all parameters are profiled.

alpha

highest significance level allowed for the profile t-statistics.

maxsteps

maximum number of points to be used for profiling each parameter.

del

suggested change on the scale of the profile t-statistics. Default value chosen to allow profiling at about 10 parameter values.

trace

logical: should the progress of profiling be reported?

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

##### Details

The profile t-statistic is defined as the square root of change in sum-of-squares divided by residual standard error with an appropriate sign.

##### Value

A list of classes "profile.glm" and "profile" with an element for each parameter being profiled. The elements are data-frames with two variables

par.vals

a matrix of parameter values for each fitted model.

tau

the profile t-statistics.
