| simplex {VGAM} | R Documentation |
The two parameters of the univariate simplex distribution are estimated.
simplex(lmu = "logit", lsigma = "loge",
emu=list(), esigma=list(),
imu = NULL, isigma = NULL)
lmu |
Link function for mu.
See Links for more choices.
The parameter lies in the unit interval.
|
lsigma |
Link function for sigma.
See Links for more choices.
The parameter is positive, therefore the log link is the default.
|
emu, esigma |
List. Extra argument for each of the links.
See earg in Links for general information.
|
imu, isigma |
Optional initial values for mu and sigma.
A NULL means a value is obtained internally.

See Jorgensen (1997) for details.
An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class).
The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm,
and vgam.
This distribution is potentially useful for dispersion modelling.
This family function only works for intercept-only models, i.e.,
the formula should have ~ 1.
