make_negbin: Construct a 'negbin' object for negative binomial regression...

In samorso/IBpaper: Code for the paper "A Flexible Bias Correction Method based on Inconsistent Estimators"

Construct a 'negbin' object for negative binomial regression with predefined coefficients

Description

It creates an object of class negbin from MASS package, as one would obtain when fitting a negative binomial regression, but here there is no fit, one simply provides a design matrix and coefficients. This function is particularly useful in conjunction with simulation method from the ib package to simulate from this model.

Usage

make_negbin(x, coefficients, theta)

Arguments

x	n x p design matrix (no intercept)
coefficients	p+1 vector of coefficients, the first coefficient is the intercept.
theta	additional parameter for negative binomial regression
