From MASS v7.3-53 by Brian Ripley

Family function for Negative Binomial GLMs

Specifies the information required to fit a Negative Binomial generalized linear model, with known theta parameter, using glm().

Keywords: models, regression

Usage

negative.binomial(theta = stop("'theta' must be specified"), link = "log")

Arguments

theta: The known value of the additional parameter, theta.
link: The link function, as a character string, name or one-element character vector specifying one of log, sqrt or identity, or an object of class "link-glm".

Value

An object of class "family", a list of functions and expressions needed by glm() to fit a Negative Binomial generalized linear model.
