] negative binomial family glm R and STATA
Dear Lister,
I am facing a strange problem fitting a GLM of the negative
binomial family. Actually, I tried to estimate theta (the
scale parameter) through glm.nb from MASS and could get
convergence only relaxing the convergence tolerance to 1e-3
Dear Patrick
Try the package gamlss which allow to fit the negative binomial
distrbution. For example with your data I am getting
#---
ga1-gamlss(nbcas~.,data=zonesdb4,family=NBI)
GAMLSS-RS iteration 1: Global Deviance = 817.9027
GAMLSS-RS
