mygllm: Generalized Log-Linear Fitting

In RecordLinkage: Record Linkage Functions for Linking and Deduplicating Data Sets

Generalized Log-Linear Fitting

Description

Fits a log-linear model for collapsed contingency tables.

Usage

mygllm(y, s, X, maxit = 1000, tol = 1e-05, E = rep(1, length(s)))

Arguments

y	Vector of observed cell frequencies.
s	Scatter matrix. s[i] is the cell in the observed array that corresponds to cell i in the full array.
X	Design matrix.
maxit	Maximum number of iterations.
tol	Convergence parameter.
E	Full contingency table. Should be initialized with either ones or a priori estimates.

Details

This is an implementation and extension of the algorithm published by Haber (1984). It also incorporates ideas of David Duffy (see references).

A priori estimates of the full contingency table can be given as start values by argument E. This can reduce execution time significantly.

Value

Estimated full contingency table.
