Acknowlodgment

The authors would like to thank CAPES, CNPq and FAPEMIG for partial financial support.

Overview

FLAMES: Flexible Link function with AssyMptotES is a package able to fit binary regression under several link functions and two possible assymptotes parameters, c and d, in the form

formula

Installation

# Install from CRAN (when available)
install.packages("FLAMES")
# Or the development version from GitHub
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("DouglasMesquita/FLAMES")

Usage

library(FLAMES)

library(FLAMES) will load mcmc_bin, a function to fit binary regression models. The user can choose for MCMC based on ARMS or Metropolis Hastings algorithms. Also it is possible to fit logit, probit, cauchit, cloglog, loglog and robit regressions.
