startvalues: startvalues

In bbreg: Bessel and Beta Regressions via Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for Continuous Bounded Data

startvalues

Description

Function providing initial values for the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Usage

startvalues(z, x, v, link.mean)

Arguments

z	response vector with 0 < z_i < 1.
x	matrix containing the covariates for the mean submodel. Each column is a different covariate.
v	matrix containing the covariates for the precision submodel. Each column is a different covariate.
link.mean	a string containing the link function for the mean. The possible link functions for the mean are "logit","probit", "cauchit", "cloglog".
