under "Details" (version 2015-11-29 r69717; not quite cutting-edge, but nothing has changed in src/library/stats/man/family.Rd in 5 months [sorry for using the Github mirror, but I prefer the interface ... <https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/stats/man/family.Rd>]) it says:
valid.mu: logical function. Returns ‘TRUE’ if a mean vector ‘mu’ is within the domain of ‘variance’. valid.eta: logical function. Returns ‘TRUE’ if a linear predictor ‘eta’ is within the domain of ‘linkinv’. However, the real names of these elements are "validmu" and "valideta" (no dots); try names(poisson()) or names(binomial()) and see ... Can someone on R-core fix this and save me the trouble of filing a bug report ... ? Or have I misunderstood something? cheers Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
