Utility function

Description

Apply the link function or its inverse to the argument.

Usage

link(x, link = "log", inv = FALSE)

Arguments

x	vector containing the predictor
link	string with the name of the link function
inv	if TRUE its inverse is applied

Details

This function is intended to port other link functions than \log{≤ft(\right)} to Poisson-Gamma Additive Models. For now, the only allowed value is "log".
