This function may be used to create potentially valid starting
values for calling sparsegl() with a stats::family() object.
It is not typically necessary to call this function (as it is used
internally to create some), but in some cases, especially with custom
generalized linear models, it may improve performance.

Number of observations in the response (or rows in x).
Number of columns in x
Scalar. Initial value for the intercept.
Vector. Initial values for the coefficients. Must be length
nvars (or a scalar).
Vector. Initial values for the deviance residuals. Must be length
nobs (or a scalar).
Occasionally, the irls fitting routine may fail with an admonition to create valid starting values.
