negbin.reg: Negative binomial regression

In Rfast2: A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions II

Negative binomial regression

Description

Negative binomial regression.

Usage

negbin.reg(y, x, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 100)

Arguments

y	The dependent variable, a numerical vector with integer valued numbers.
x	A matrix or a data.frame with the indendent variables.
tol	The tolerance value required by the Newton-Raphson to stop.
maxiters	The maximum iterations allowed.

Details

A negative binomial regression model is fitted. The standard errors of the regressions are not returned as we do not compute the full Hessian matrix at each step of the Newton-Raphson.

Value

A list including:

be	The regression coefficients.
loglik	The loglikelihood of the regression model.
iters	The iterations required by the Newton-Raphson.
