Utility function.
The model fitted assumes a piecewise constant baseline rate in
intervals specified by the argument breaks
, and a
multiplicative relative risk function.

The model is fitted by alternating between two generalized linear models where one estimates the underlying rates in the intervals, and the other estimates the log-relative risks.

A glm object from a binomial model with log-link, estimating the baseline rates. |
